Professional Ethics & Discipline

This practice group provides advice to business entities and professionals regarding relevant standards of ethical or professional behavior in the practice of a licensed profession and/or the operation of a business engaged in a licensed profession. In addition, members of this group frequently serve as mediators for disgruntled parties in a professional ethics/possible malpractice claim and as expert witnesses when requested by litigants.

Our attorneys represent respondents throughout all phases of professional licensing, disciplinary and malpractice proceedings. We have successfully defended physicians, psychologists and other licensed professionals charged with violations of their respective codes of professional conduct.

Because each member of the group has extensive experience in identifying, evaluating and documenting potential violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct governing attorneys, we often assist other attorneys in analyzing their duties and creating an appropriate and prospective course of conduct. These duties involve conflicts of interest, fee disputes and confidentiality issues among others. Members of our group also provide legal services to attorneys who have had grievances or malpractice suits filed against them and to members of the public who may have grievances and claims against attorneys. While we maintain an active involvement with the Maryland State Bar Association Ethics Committee, our attorneys are capable of handling ethics and professional conduct-related matters in the District of Columbia.
