Q: If my daughter is a lawyer in California and I obtain a domestic violence restraining order will she be disbarred?
A: What do you mean, "I obtain a domestic violence restraining order?" Are you the protected victim or the person against whom the order is granted? What does your daughter have to do with the order?
A: Obtaining a domestic violence restraining order generally does not result in automatic disbarment for an attorney in California. Personal matters like obtaining a restraining order are typically separate from professional conduct. However, if there are allegations of unethical conduct or misconduct related to the order or other legal matters, it could potentially lead to disciplinary action by the State Bar of California. It's advisable for your daughter to consult with legal professionals or the State Bar for specific guidance based on her situation to ensure she understands the potential impact on her professional career.
