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
such proceedings.
The managing principal of the firm,
Gary D. Nissenbaum, Esq., has extensive experience
in handling such matters.
Defense of Attorney Ethics
Matters
Mr. Nissenbaum was
previously a member of the District
XII Ethics Committee for five
years. Ultimately, he was honored to
be appointed as its Vice Chair and later,
the Chairman, of the Committee in 2006/2007.
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 found innocent. 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 permitted
to again defend attorneys accused of
ethical infractions.
Expert Witness in Legal
Ethics 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 legal ethics proceedings. He
has prepared numerous expert witness
reports for plaintiff's attorneys alleging
professional negligence. Mr. Nissenbaum is also
available to testify as an expert witness
in fee arbitration
matters.
