Attorney discipline proceedings can expose a lawyer to sanctions ranging from a reprimand to suspension to disbarment. The results can be devastating, both personally and professionally. If you are facing discipline charges, it is imperative that you hire someone who understands the unique and sometimes complex system of attorney discipline.

Prior to entering private practice, Laura spent 10 years in the Texas Bar’s Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel, managing all aspects of the attorney discipline system in the Austin Region, including litigation, investigations, grievance administration, budget and HR. Laura also directed the operations and staff of each of CDC’s Statewide Programs, including Classification and Intake, Appeals, Grievance Referral Program, Ethics Helpline, and Compliance. Finally, Laura served as lead counsel in some of the Bar’s most difficult and high-profile litigation. 

In short, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who understands the inner workings of the attorney grievance system better than Laura.

If a grievance has been filed against you, you need to take swift action. There are strict deadlines by which a response must be filed and it is imperative that CDC receive this response before making its determination as to whether to dismiss, present the case to an Investigatory Panel, or file formal disciplinary charges and proceed into litigation.
