The Kentucky Ethics Commission has decided to move forward with a complaint against Daniel Grossberg, a prominent attorney in the state. The complaint alleges that Grossberg violated ethical standards by accepting payment from clients for his legal services, despite being suspended from practicing law.
Grossberg, who has been practicing law for over 20 years, was suspended by the Kentucky Bar Association for failing to pay his annual dues. Despite this suspension, he continued to represent clients and accept payments for his services.
The complaint was filed by a former client of Grossberg’s who claims that they paid him over $10,000 for legal services that were never provided. The Ethics Commission has found that there is enough evidence to warrant further investigation into these allegations.
Grossberg has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that he plans to vigorously defend himself against the allegations. He has argued that his suspension was a simple oversight and that he was not trying to deceive his clients.
If the Ethics Commission ultimately finds Grossberg guilty of violating ethical standards, he could face disciplinary action which could range from a reprimand to disbarment. This case highlights the importance of attorneys adhering to ethical standards and upholding the trust of their clients.
The Kentucky Ethics Commission has not yet set a date for a hearing on the complaint, but it is expected to be scheduled in the coming months. Grossberg’s legal career and reputation are now at stake as he faces these serious allegations.
