Bay Area Legal Ethics and Professional Licensing Attorney

The Law Office of Carol M. Langford is a San Francisco Bay Area law firm that helps professionals apply for licenses and defend themselves when their licenses are under threat. I am a leading national authority on legal ethics serving lawyers and other professionals nationwide. I provide expert witness testimony on legal ethics and attorney conduct matters throughout the country.

A Nationwide Authority on Legal Ethics

Before establishing my own solo practice, I was a partner with the California law firm of Carroll, Burdick & McDonough, where my main focus was as a a litigator and ethics advisor. Today I teach ethics at two law schools in the Bay Area, and I have co-written two major textbooks on the topic. I know what the Bar is looking for in cases where the State Bar of California is reviewing an attorney's right to practice law, as I assisted in drafting some of the Rules that it uses in its process. I also understand moral character and fitness to practice issue in medical and real estate boards.

At my firm, I provide focused, reliable and knowledgeable service in the following areas:

• Licensing and disciplinary matters: For California professionals facing disciplinary actions due to the civil, criminal or other ethics violation allegations, I help develop a response to the State Bar, the nursing and medical boards of California and the DRE and work with them directly, if necessary, to resolve the issue. I defend professionals through each stage of the disciplinary process.
• Admissions: I advise and assist clients who want to practice in California and in other states and venues, like the MBC, the DRE and the PTO. I provide my clients with the materials they need to successfully apply for admission.
• Expert testimony: I serve as an expert witness on legal ethics throughout the country, traveling to wherever my testimony is needed. I charge a competitive rate in these cases.
• Legal counsel for all professionals: I advise doctors, nurses, real estate brokers, and other professionals in issues involving medical or real estate licensing.
• Patent and Trademark Office cases: I effectively manage cases that are before the Patent & Trademark Office in Washington, D.C.

My approach in every case is to have a detailed discussion with my client about what is happening in their case and how I can help. I understand that professionals are often embarrassed to call an attorney about a license issue. However, I never judge my clients. I am on their side to help them resolve their licensing issues.
