legal-royalty-audit-discussion

Our law firm defends attorneys facing allegations of ethics violations by the NY, NJ and PA state bars, the courts in multidistrict litigation, and  attorney ethics investigators working for federal agencies. It also advises attorneys on the ethical and transactional aspects of law firm management and succession planning.

PLEASE NOTE: Our firm typically does not file ethics, fee arbitration complaints, nor legal malpractice cases against attorneys.

The Nissenbaum Law Group has an ethics defense team that not only advises attorneys who are licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, but also those who have been cited for ethical infractions when practicing before federal administrative agencies involving the EOIR, BIA, DHS, USPTO OED, FTC, as well as in MDL (multidistrict litigation) matters. In addition, the firm handles the ethical and transactional legal issues that arise when creating a properly compliant form of retainer agreement and law firm management and succession.
