LAW FOR LAWYERS We represent lawyers and law firms in these matters:
We offer bar complaint defense at every stage of the process, including Bar Counsel's initial inquiry and investigation, peer review, negotiated dispositions, contested evidentiary trials, and appeals. Our ethics work is focused, based on proximity to our northern Virginia office, upon bar complaints before the D.C. Bar, Virginia Bar, or USPTO. Our Maryland work is generally limited to cases involving parallel complaints to D.C. or Virginia matters. What to Do If You Receive a Bar Complaint Frequently Asked Questions about Bar Complaint Defense Ethics Library (External Links) Each licensing jurisdiction adopts its own ethics rules. This sometimes means a federal court or agency could have different ethics rules than the bar of the state where that federal court or agency is located. Most licensing jurisdictions base their ethics rules on the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Note that the ABA Model Rules are not a basis on which to impose discipline unless adopted by a state bar or federal court/agency as its own. For current versions of state bar ethics rules, see: DC Bar | VA Bar | MD Bar Maryland and some ABA-following jurisdictions have additional trust account regulations that exist outside of ethics Rule 1.15.
