Attorney Grievance Defense

If you are a Michigan licensed attorney under investigation or prosecution for allegations of misconduct, you need qualified representation to protect your professional reputation and your livelihood.

Ms. Schinske has defended other lawyers in a number of high-profile Michigan attorney grievance cases, including a contempt-of-court hearing in a probate case dealing with the estate of late casino executive Don Barden. She also led a successful appeal of a Genessee County attorney’s contempt-of-court conviction that resulted from proceedings during a murder trial.

She has represented lawyers through the stages of the attorney grievance process, including response to investigations, negotiations, consent proposals, answers to formal complaints, sworn statements, and petitions for reinstatement. With a thorough understanding of attorney ethics, which she follows in her own practice, she has assisted in misconduct hearings, sanction hearings, and appeals to the Attorney Discipline Board.
