(Las Vegas, NV)
Nevada Hearing Officer ruled in my favor, prior employer (law firm) appealed to Referee alleging misconduct for handling criminal case, my at-will contract does prohibit me from criminal practice, but i only appeared in crim court few times to WITHDRAW from cases i was on prior to starting at the firm, as per NV law. i didnt like how hearing went b/c of questions Ref was asking i.e. Did u get firm manual w/policies? Did u read it? etc. But I did notify my secretary when i appeared, but not senior partners who are in Irvine/SD and Im in Las Vegas. What do u think? Been getting benefits since April. Im waiting on decision still. As NV law and Sup Ct Rules for attys requires a Motion to Withdraw and Personal Appearance, doesnt NV law trump my firm's policy?? If I followed firm policy to letter I would be violating law/court rules by not appearing to withdraw as counsel of record?? Right???Thanks,
