The
Nissenbaum Law Group also offers two
unique services for attorneys: representing
them in responding to ethics grievances
and serving as an expert witness in
both legal malpractice and attorney
ethics and fee arbitration proceedings.
The managing principal of the firm,
Gary D. Nissenbaum, Esq., has experience
in both handling legal ethics matters
and serving as a plaintiff's expert
in attorney malpractice litigation.
Defense of Attorney Ethics
Matters
Mr. Nissenbaum has routinely advised
attorneys on ethics matters and was
ultimately appointed to the District
XII Ethics Committee. Mr. Nissenbaum
served on the Ethics Committee for five
years. Ultimately, he was honored to
be appointed as its Vice Chair and later,
the Chairman, of the Committee.
Prior to his service on the Committee,
Mr. Nissenbaum defended an attorney
accused of serious legal ethics infractions
in a multi-day trial in which the defendant
was exonerated. While he was not permitted
to defend attorneys accused of ethics
violations during his tenure on the
Committee, Mr. Nissenbaum gained invaluable
experience investigating ethics violations;
supervising such investigations; and
chairing a hearing relating to serious
allegations of ethical infractions by
an attorney. As of September 1, 2007,
Mr. Nissenbaum completed his tenure
as Chairman of the District XII Ethics
Committee. Consequently, he is now permitted
to again defend attorneys accused of
ethical infractions.
Expert witness in Legal
Ethics, Fee Arbitration and Legal Malpractice
matters.
Due to his extensive background in
both commercial practice and in the
attorney ethics process, Mr. Nissenbaum
is uniquely suited to serve as an expert
witness in both (a) legal malpractice
matters involving commercial issues
and (b) legal ethics proceedings. He
has prepared numerous expert witness
reports for plaintiff's attorneys alleging
malpractice. Mr. Nissenbaum is also
available to testify as expert witness
in ethics proceedings and fee arbitration
matters.
