Shareholder Insight
I am frequently asked, "Doug, when are you going to retire? You've been doing this for 36 years... When are you going to give it up?"

My repeated response is "Are you kidding? I love my job!" In fact, I don't consider my role here at the firm as a "job." I really do love what I do for a living. I am working with great people, most of whom have been here at the firm for years and years. Usually on the plaintiff's side, I get to plan and then carry out case strategy; case after case. Best of all, in my line of "work" I am always learning something new and different, whether it be how to install unitized flashing, or how cast iron pipe is manufactured, or what happens to engineered wood when it gets wet - there is always something I've never dealt with before. ...I'll never quit this. It's too much fun!

The post-hearing notice of disciplinary action ("Post-Hearing Notice" or "Notice") includes fewer statutory requirements than the notice of hearing, but there are several important provisions the Notice should include to help ensure its enforceability.
 
Pursuant to Civil Code section 5855(c), a Post-Hearing Notice must be sent to the member within 15 days of the hearing date. Continue Reading
