Attorney Ethics Violation Hearing
Summary
In Pennsylvania, an attorney can continue representing a client unless disqualified by a court order. If you have evidence of unethical behavior, report it to the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board. Witnesses can testify about direct observations, which are not hearsay. You can request disciplinary actions, such as anger management classes, if the attorney is found guilty. A judge can be subpoenaed to testify about the attorneys behavior, but they must recuse themselves from future cases involving you if they serve as a witness.Full Conversation
