Denial of reinstatement
In some cases, the investigating character committee will submit a report to the court recommending against reinstatement. In such cases, the applicant may apply to the court directly for reinstatement hearing notwithstanding the recommendation of the committee. This is a complex argument which must overcome the recommendation of the committee, which was appointed by the court for the purpose of engaging in such evaluations.
Most lawyers are unaware of this process, while our firm has made many such arguments and has been successful on behalf of our clients.
