Ethical Violations and Bar Complaints

Bar grievances can spark investigations ranging from conflicts of interest to trust account management and can cost an attorney valuable time, money and peace of mind. Whether it’s an irate client, a disgruntled employee, an opposing counsel, or a judge who files a complaint, I can help you navigate the system.
Helping you stay focused on your clients—while I handle the compliance.

Janeen offers proactive, preventative guidance that avoids grievances. Solve problems before you have to respond to them.

Effective Trust Account Management

Attorneys are not accountants but the State Bar holds attorneys fully accountable for all aspects of trust account management. I spent years prosecuting trust account cases and have seen all of the most common mistakes that can lead to discipline. Let me help you avoid the pitfalls and put you on track for success.

Substance abuse and mental health issues are the root cause of almost one-third of all discipline matters. Early intervention and rehabilitation can save firms and careers. I’ve seen the progression and know the early signs of problems. Identify and remediate them before they take on a life of their own.

Improper management of IOLTA/trust accounts and other billing and accounting issues need resolution. Improper tracking or accounting errors can plague a firm. Get help for overbilling or charges of deception.

Our firm helps out-of-state law firms establish a presence in the State of Nevada in compliance with the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct and can assist those firms on an on-going basis with timely renewals and immediate input as needed with day-to-day questions about Nevada’s rules and practices.
Unhappy clients who sue or file grievances occasionally assail practices. And unfortunately, unforeseen factors have been known to suck law firms and independent attorneys into deep waters. Let’s get to the bottom of systemic, as well as one-of-a-kind, occurrences.
I’ve spent years helping lawyers defend legal malpractice cases. I’ve also learned over the years the most common mistakes that lead to these types of lawsuits. Our firm can help you put simple policies and procedures in place to prevent the most common mistakes that lead to litigation.
Attorneys often do not realize the strict limitations the State Bar puts on employees who do not hold a law license. A well-meaning employee can land the lawyer in a discipline hearing. I help firms navigate these rules and create effective and simple safeguards to protect attorneys while still utilizing staff efficiently and effectively. We can also help out-of-state lawyers who have received grievances from the Nevada State Bar in connection with alleged unauthorized practice within the jurisdiction.
