- You have been charged with a crime such as sexual abuse of minors
- You have been convicted of a crime such as driving under the influence of alcohol
Whatever the particulars of your situation are, you may have both a criminal matter to resolve with the courts and an ethical violation matter to resolve in an administrative hearing.
