Re: Repercussions on Plaintiff
Unauthorized practice of law is a misdemeanor for which the attorney could be prosecuted. Under the statutes, the Plaintiff might be charged as an accessory. The attorney could also be subject to more serious disciplinary sanctions than suspension if found to have practiced law while suspended.
