Court Ordered Reprimand issued in CT, 2024

updated on 08/14/2024

A court reprimand is an order from the Superior Court after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.
