Disciplinary Complaints
Complaints by clients to a professional's Governing Body are becoming more commonplace as disgruntled clients are increasingly using these proceedings as a springboard to civil litigation. Many professionals mistakenly underestimate the potential negative ramifications of an investigation by their Disciplinary Body. Every professional is entitled to have legal representation throughout this process and, in our experience, it is critical that such representation commence at the start of any client complaint. Christopher Hluchan & Associates has significant experience dealing with such disciplinary complaints, including representing clients at Disciplinary Hearings and Appeal.
