Discipline Hearings

Burokas Law represents individuals and business facing a complaint or discipline proceedings from their regulator.  A finding of professional misconduct, breach of a code of ethics, or incompetence can have serious repercussions on an individual's or business's ability to practice in their chosen profession. As a complaints committee proceeding typically precedes a discipline hearing, it is important to receive effective legal advice and representation early in the process to ensure your afforded every opportunity to defend yourself. Burokas Law will provide advocacy from responding to an initial complaint to conducting hearings at your regulator's discipline committee. 

When counsel for a Regulator, Michael has conducted discipline proceedings on the issue of whether registrants breached their code of ethics. Michael also actively adjudicates complaints as a member of the Complaints Committee at the Human Resources Professional Association (HRPA).

For regulators, Burokas Law is able to provide timely legal advice on the proper functioning of their complaints committee and conduct discipline hearings as counsel on behalf of their Registrar.
