The Problem

The modern day practice of law is risky business. As attorneys, we work hard to continually provide our best efforts to protect our client’s interests and defend them against other party’s claims or other risks to their rights and property. Despite these efforts, attorneys still find themselves in serious ethical quandaries or facing down an angry client who is threatening or already has gone to the State Bar with a complaint. But the reality is that we can’t predict when a tricky or thorny ethical issue that threatens our practice will arise. Nor can we always anticipate what preventive measures should have been taken in advance of any ethical trouble that would have kept us ethically safe and operating well within the red lines of our ethical duties and obligations to our clients, the courts and the profession. Even worse, now attorneys can get into hot water with the State Bar even when no client complaint has been made!

You could be an attorney who has practiced without a single complaint for 20 or 30 years, but still get disciplined (or even disbarred) if a random audit finds a mistake

The State Bar Is Under Public Pressure To Step Up Enforcement

Bar’s Board of Trustees approved expanded authority that gives the State Bar’s prosecution department—the Office of Chief Trial Counsel— greater reign to randomly audit the Client Trust Account of any California attorney. You could be an attorney who has practiced without a single complaint for 20 or 30 years, but still get disciplined (or even disbarred) if a random audit finds a mistake or a failure to timely and properly deposit client funds or settlement or even worse identifies over-payments to yourself or under-payments to clients!

Unfortunately, random trust account audits are only the beginning. Over the past few years, the Office of Chief Trial Counsel has ramped-up its enforcement against targeted attorney groups that were previously not an enforcement priority, such as immigration lawyers. I should know—I am a former Office of Chief Trial Counsel prosecutor who knows the State Bar’s prosecution playbook because I helped write it during the 10 years I was a Senior Prosecutor. Recently, you may have notice in the news that the State Bar is under serious public pressure to go after attorneys even harder. The Tom Girardi scandal and other similar stories about attorneys that ripped off their clients without any discipline (or even investigation!) has made the call for stricter regulation of attorneys rise to a fever pitch! Any attorney who does not see the BIG RED TARGET on their back, is simply not paying attention. Furthermore, any attorney who is not prepared with a real plan to protect and defend their right to practice law is risking everything unnecessarily.

Legal Ethics 911 Is The Solution You Need

The best way to protect and defend your right to practice law is my Legal Ethics 911 monthly subscription plans. I created the Legal Ethics 911 monthly subscription plan because it has always been my mission to give all attorneys in California an effective and practical method to make the necessary ethical analysis a part of their standard operating procedures for all their client matters. Whether you practice family law, personal injury, immigration, trusts and estates, bankruptcy, criminal defense, IP or general civil litigation, every time you think through your client’s issues, claims or defenses, you must think through your ethical duties and obligations that arise anytime we represent a client. Legal Ethics 911 plans help the subscribing attorney to protect and defend their right to practice law by getting unfettered access to an experienced and knowledgeable legal ethics and state bar expert. How great would it be if every time you needed counsel, advice or just someone to talk it out, you could reach out and discuss it with an ethics or state bar expert, with comprehensive knowledge, extensive experience and proven judgment. That’s exactly what I am offering you through my Legal Ethics 911 monthly subscription plans.

As a former State Bar Prosecutor, I know the State Bar’s playbook because I helped make it!

Affordable Monthly Coverage When You Need It

Just like all of us have health or auto or life insurance, getting monthly subscription access to an ethics and state bar expert is not only indispensable in the modern practice of law in California, it also makes financial sense. Having insurance encourages good health decisions (like scheduling routine health, vision, or dental checkups, providing affordable and easier access to the medications we need and getting sound health advice to improve chronic conditions or quitting bad habits, etc.). Likewise, my Legal Ethics 911 monthly subscription plan will ensure that the decisions you make in your everyday practice of law will be ethically good ones because they will be analyzed by an expert who understands California ethical duties and obligations, who has extensive experience and sound judgment, and who can point you to a reasonable and effective solution every time. As we all know, just waiting for an ethical or state bar problem to arise before taking action is not only bad planning, it will likely cost you much, much more than if you had preplanned with a monthly subscription plan. Just like paying monthly for health insurance means when a serious medical condition strikes, you will be financially covered, a Legal Ethics 911 monthly subscription can save you thousands in defense costs at a time when you need it the most. As we all know, the person most likely to survive during a disaster, is the person who made a plan and stuck to it. When disaster strikes at your office, Legal Ethics 911 plans will protect and defend your right to practice law at a fixed cost with discounted rates and may even save your legal career. You’ve invested many years and thousands of dollars to get a law license. Wouldn’t you agree that paying as little as $500 a month to protect that investment is a tremendous value?

Being Ethical Pays!

An innovative part of the Legal Ethics 911 monthly subscription plan is the cash rebate benefit. My commitment to protect and defend your right to practice includes rewarding your ethics. That is, I will pay a 5% cash rebate to my attorney subscribers who sign-up and remain in the DEFEND, PLATINUM OR ULTIMATE Legal Ethics 911 plans for 12 consecutive months and then for every 12 consecutive months thereafter. I truly want to do everything I can to help every Legal Ethics 911 attorney subscriber become the best ethical lawyer they can be. To prove it, I put my money where my mouth is!
