We counsel clients on risk management and professional responsibility matters before problems arise, and we stand beside them when they do.
When an attorney’s license, reputation, and career are on the line, the stakes could not be higher. Eckland & Blando represents lawyers facing the full range of professional regulation issues — from ethics complaints and disciplinary investigations to motions to disqualify and motions for sanctions. We understand that these proceedings are not just legal disputes; they are deeply personal challenges that can define a professional’s future, and we bring the same rigor and commitment to defending attorneys that we bring to every matter we handle.
We defend attorneys at every stage of the disciplinary process. Whether a complaint has just been filed, an investigation is well underway, or formal charges have been brought, our attorneys are prepared to provide effective, strategic representation.
Minnesota Attorney Regulation
Eckland & Blando brings exceptional insight into Minnesota’s attorney disciplinary system. Partner Daniel J. Cragg served for six years as an attorney member of the Minnesota Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board, including time as Chair of a Panel and Chair of the Board’s Rules and Opinions Committee. That experience provides our clients with an informed understanding of how the disciplinary process works from the inside — how panels approach their work and what considerations shape outcomes at each stage. Attorneys facing proceedings before the OLPR or the LPRB benefit from that institutional knowledge as they navigate what is often the most consequential professional challenge of their careers.
Other Licensed Professionals
Beyond attorneys, Eckland & Blando continues to represent other licensed professionals facing regulatory and disciplinary challenges. Our experience before ethics boards and regulatory agencies spans a range of industries, including financial services, insurance, medicine, nursing, and real estate. Whatever the profession, we understand the importance of protecting our clients’ licenses and livelihoods.
