The Public is barred from all Virginia State Bar Impairment Hearings, and the VSB will not allow a Respondent to waive confidentiality.
It is a Secret Process used by the VSB to ruin attorneys' lives and law practices which is held before a Star Chamber of non-judges.
The Virginia State Bar Impairment Proceedings are not authorized by any Virginia Statute.
The Virginia Stste Bar has the burden of proving the impairment of an attorney to practice law.
There is no appeal allowed from VSB Impairment Summary Suspensions or any other determination or Order entered in Impairment cases even if the attorney is not impaired and the VSB cannot prove the attorney is impaired.
The Virginia State Bar does not employ any judges and no Virginia judges are assigned to hear any cases that come before the Virginia State Bar at the District Committees or Disciplinary Board levels.
The Virginia State Bar uses volunteers who are recommended by the Virginia State Bar Council, its elected governing body. The cases pending before the VSB District Committees or the VSB Discipliary Board are heard primarily by attorneys selected by the VSB who compete with the Respondents charged by the Viginia State Bar.
There is NO appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court or to any other court from Summary Suspensions, Suspsension, Noncompliance Orders or Impairment Orders.
The Virginia State Bar can select any attorney it wishes to charge with allegations of Impairment even if the VSB cannot meet it buden of proof and then summarily suspend that attorney's membership in the VSB cutting off the attorneye right to practice immediately and without warning.
This Draconian Confidential process
After a full hearing, the Virginia State Bar could not prove I was impaired and had no medical evidence or other evidence to rebut my espert medical doctors' reports and testimony or the testimony of clients, attorneys and others who knew my capabilities as an attorney.
Therefore, the VSB Disciplinary Board entered two Orders in my case:
1. Order that I sign Medical Releases for 5 years of my medical records from all my medical providers which are protected from disclousure by HIPAA and the US Consitution right to privacy and to submit to an independent medical examination by a doctor the VSB would choose; and
2. Order of Noncomplinace when I would not sign Medical Releases for the VSB to get all of my medical records for 5 years from all my medical providers and submit to an "Independent" medical examination conducted by a physician chosen by the Virginia State Bar.
I had no appeal.
I had not Client Complaints for 41 years. All allegations in the specious Impaiarment case came from competing, opposing attorneys and judges who were cooperating with the opposing attorneys and parties.
My las practice and income was abruptly ended.
Some of my clients were left with no representation and still do not have any representation in very compllicated cases in which they now have suffered significant harm as pro se parties.
There was and is no judtice when you are accused by the Virginia State Bar, supposedly by your opposing attorneys and cooperative judges who did not even testify.
I had no opportunity to comfront or examine my accusers at any point in the Impairment process because the Virginia State Bar did not call any of the accusers, if there were any, as witnesses.
I could not appeal even to the Virginia Supreme Ccurt of which the Virginia State Bar is an administrative agency.

In the United States no one is supposed to have their livlihood cut off without a right of appeal.
The Virginia State Bar can take a lawyer's livelihood and ruin the lawyer's reputation in Secret Proceedings behind locked doors and the attorney has no appeal or other legal challenge to the Star Chamber proceedings or the Virginia State Bar suspending the attorney''s membership in the VSB.
Without an active status in good standing in the Virginia State Bar, an attorney cannot practice law in Virginia even when the attorney still has a valid Virginia law license.
