The Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility Committee and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania have initiated this program to provide pro bono representation to lawyers during the preliminary stage of disciplinary investigations. The attorneys listed below have volunteered to represent attorney-respondents who are financially unable to hire counsel in the early, informal stage of investigations. This stage starts with the opening of an investigation and ends with the decision to dismiss the charges or to file a petition for public discipline. It is in this crucial, early stage that counsel can persuade disciplinary authorities to dismiss charges or reduce or mitigate the discipline sought. These attorneys have completed a Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI) training program created and presented by experienced respondents’ attorneys and staff of the Disciplinary Board on the disciplinary process and the representation of respondents in that process. If you believe you cannot afford to hire private counsel and your professional liability insurance does not provide payment for counsel in disciplinary proceedings, you may contact one of the attorneys below.
