Florida State Bar Court - Attorney Discipline Defense - Grievances

If you are a lawyer facing an ethics complaint or alleged violation of the Florida Rules of Professional Regulation and Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, contact The Pinkert Law Firm for an initial consultation about your options for defense.  Our firm can help defend you against baseless claims, or help reduce the potential sanctions.  

When a complaint is sent to the bar, it is referred to a so-called “Grievance Committee” comprised of attorneys and members of the public that investigate the complaint and determine whether there is probable cause.  Obtaining counsel at this initial step is important as it is at this early stage that the complaint can be dismissed or be resolved with a minimal sanction if the issues are properly presented to the committee.

At any stage in the process, our unique approach to attorney discipline matters can protect your license and career while maintaining Florida's high standards of professional responsibility. We will work with you and the State Bar to resolve professional misconduct problems on fair terms.  The firm’s varied experience will be helpful to you in ethical and disciplinary matters governed by the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct.

We support and encourage you throughout the process and make sure that your personal progress is convincingly demonstrated to the panel responsible for your case. The Pinkert Law Firm has experience and insight into the State Bar discipline process which can help you avoid mistakes and maximize your chances for a favorable outcome.  We can present you with an honest assessment of your exposure on the underlying charges, your most effective alternatives for a defense based on the facts, and a realistic sense of the sanctions that you might face.
