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). In the cases of disbarment, cases will be shown for one year after the date of the disbarment. In the cases of suspensions, cases will be shown for the period of suspension plus one year. In the cases of other public discipline such as reprimands, etc., cases will be shown for a period of one year from the date of the discipline. In the cases of admonishments, cases will be shown for a period of one year from the date of the admonishment. Private admonishments will appear in redacted form. The full Court order is available by clicking on the Court case number provided in the below summary. Because Bar members may share the same or similar names, individuals using these summaries must ensure that they have correctly identified the lawyer they are researching.
