Public and Professional Ethics, Discipline and Regulation

Friebert, Finerty, & St. John, S.C. represents attorneys, judges, public officials and employees, and members of other regulated professions in connection with the ethical and disciplinary rules and regulations that govern their work and careers. Clients regularly seek the firm's counsel to ensure compliance with the mandates of their professions and to proactively address circumstances before any formal proceedings are initiated.

Clients also turn to the firm when facing both governmental and non-governmental ethics, disciplinary, and license-related proceedings. Such proceedings are unlike other areas of legal practice, blending unique procedure with specialized rules and governing law. Few attorneys have substantial or frequent experience in providing representation in this context.

A number of our attorneys have years and decades of experience in these settings. We provide effective counsel and critical advocacy when clients' professions, reputations, finances, and businesses are on the line.
