If my lawyer was disbarred for misconduct what happens to my pending case?

Hello. I am sorry to learn of this issue. You should phone the Minnesota Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility which is located in St. Paul, Minnesota, right away. Should you then seek to hire a different attorney: Some attorneys, myself included, are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys, myself included, will provide a reduced fee for need. All the best.

You may need to get a new lawyer and pay a new retainer. However, depending on where you are in your case and how much work was done by the disbarred attorney you may be able to negotiate a lesser fee. You can contact some lawyers to see if there is anything they can do for you. Most, like myself, offer free consultations.
