Your Quarterly Briefing on Attorney Discipline, Judicial Conduct, and Ethics Developments
The Legal Ethics Quarterly Report is Whittingham Law’s flagship educational publication.
Each quarter, the Report brings together important attorney disciplinary decisions, judicial disciplinary cases, ethics opinions, and legal ethics trends in one curated resource. It is designed for lawyers, judges, law firms, legal educators, and professionals who want a clearer view of the ethics developments shaping the legal profession.
This is more than a list of cases. It is a quarterly professional responsibility briefing that highlights what courts, grievance committees, disciplinary authorities, and ethics committees are focusing on — and what those developments may mean for lawyers, judges, and law firms.

“ Kaylin is the most diligent, thorough and professional attorney I have had the privilege to meet and work with. Her knowledge and experience insure the best possible representation of her clients, especially those with disciplinary issues. She leaves no stone unturned in preparation and will insure the best representation possible for her clients. I highly recommend her!”

“Should the unfortunate day ever come when you receive a letter from the Disciplinary Committee, Kaylin is the attorney you want on your side. She is responsive, thorough and spot on in her advice and is generally concerned about the future of her client. She is as good as it gets when it comes to effective and experienced counsel, especially trust account/escrow issues. Simply put, when your license is on the line you want the best-Kaylin Whittingham.”

“Lawyers need lawyers themselves. We can’t advocate for clients if we are unsure of how to advocate for ourselves. When I am tempted to engage in conduct that would not display professionalism; even when I’m right, I pause and call Kaylin Whittingham to get her opinion, so I can get back to what I love—being a true advocate for my clients. At times when it doesn’t smell right, it is not right. I have avoided conflicts and possible thousands of dollars in legal fees and a grievance complaint by picking up the phone and calling Kaylin.”
