Disciplinary Action

Disciplined Attorneys

This section provides summaries of each case in which public discipline or a private admonishment was administered recently by the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Court), as well as cases in which an attorney was reinstated after suspension. In the case of a disbarment, the disciplinary order will be posted for one year after the date of the disbarment. In the case of a suspension, the disciplinary order will be posted for the period of suspension plus one year. In the case of other public discipline such as reprimands, etc., the disciplinary order will be posted for a period of one year from the date of the order. In the case of an admonishment, the disciplinary order will be posted for a period of one year from the date of the admonishment. Private admonishments will appear in redacted form. In the case of reinstatement with a probationary period, the reinstatement order will be posted for the duration of the probationary period or for one year, whichever is longer. In the case of reinstatement in full, the reinstatement order will be posted for one year from the date of the order.
