understand workers’ compensation malpractice matters are uniquely complex and often difficult for civil firms to accept. I also understand that many firms will decline these cases unless liability and causation are exceptionally clear.

This leads to my core question:

If the California State Bar’s Complaint Review Unit (CRU) issues a finding of misconduct or discipline against the attorney — based on written evidence already under review — would that change the likelihood that your firm, or any malpractice firm, would consider representation?

In other words, does a CRU finding that confirms breach of duty meaningfully change the calculus for malpractice counsel, especially in a workers’ compensation context where attorneys are often hesitant to proceed unless the violation is independently validated?

I am not asking for an evaluation of my case here — only for guidance on whether the outcome of the CRU review would materially affect my ability to obtain representation for the resulting damages.

Thank you for your time. I appreciate any insight you can provide.
