Knowledgeable Connecticut Legal Ethics Attorneys

Defense for Professionals Accused of Wrongdoing

Society holds certain professionals to a higher ethical standard. As a result, when these professionals fall short of their duties, there may be avenues of legal recourse for any of their clients who are wronged.

Professionals who find themselves facing any damaging and/or potentially career-ending accusations of professional misconduct must mount a strong defense to protect both their reputation and their livelihood.

At the law firm of Stanger & Arnold, LLP, in West Hartford, Connecticut, our legal ethics attorneys have more than 60 years of combined legal experience defending claims against lawyers, doctors, dentists, accountants, engineers, architects and other professionals. If you are a professional accused of wrongdoing, a breach of fiduciary duty or another act of misconduct, we can help.

Contact our lawyers at 1-888-STANGER to schedule an initial consultation.

A Strong Defense for All Types of Grievances

Our Hartford professional responsibility lawyers represent professionals who have been accused of violating statutory regulations or failing to perform their work in accordance with accepted standards. Some examples include:

  • Malpractice
  • Fees in excess of what is allowed by law
  • Conflicts of interest
  • Breaches of fiduciary duty
  • Theft of a client's money
  • Commingling of clients' funds
  • Failure to file by deadline
  • Failure to draw up documents correctly
  • Failure to communicate properly with a client
  • Inadequate plans or workmanship
  • Failure to diagnose cancer or another disease
  • Patient/client neglect
  • Failure to inform a patient of risks
  • Failure to exercise due diligence
  • Sexual misconduct
Do not respond to any grievance without having a third party, preferably a lawyer who practices in this area, discuss both strategy and how to respond. Keep it simple and do not add extra information. Simply respond to the accusations. Far too often, responses prepared by the affected individual or their lawyer raise issues never even mentioned by the grievance panel in the original complaint.

We Have the Necessary Experience

Attorney Bruce Stanger is a member of the Connecticut Bar Association's Professional Responsibility Committee. He can help with hearings, panel discussions, and the series of steps that occur when a lawyer or other professional makes a serious mistake and faces a complaint before their governing body.

Possible outcomes in these matters can include a reprimand, continuing education, revocation or suspension of a professional license, a lawsuit or, on occasion, other prosecution.
