Utah State Bar: Lawyer Complaints & Discipline

All the bad lawyer jokes aside, many of us have had contact with or know someone who has had contact with an unethical lawyer at one time. Lawyers enjoy exceptional advantages and power in our society and this power can often be abused. Because of this, State Bars have been given authority by the legislatures to regulate and discipline lawyers when their behavior crosses the line into unethical conduct and more. Lawyers may receive minor penalties up to even losing their license to practice law in your state.

Senior Alert: Buy Into a Retirement Community or a Home?

Here are some factors to consider. Often people in retirement communities discourage children, so if you have lots of grandchildren and they like to stay with you, it may be difficult. On the other hand, if you feel you would become more isolated and have health difficulties as you grow older, then a retirement community with all their scheduled activities and access to health and disability support may be wise.

About This Site

We are a non-profit organization with the purpose of helping consumers that have been harmed by unethical or illegal actions by Utah companies, licensed professionals and others.

While we are a non-governmental agency, unincorporated nonprofit association now, that was incorporated in October of 2019. In September of 2020 our founder resigned from all her positions, for serious health issues and Kathy Nicholson took over CFPAU.org, with Ernest Crawford remaining as managing Director.

In January of 2022 the CFPAU.org Directors made the wise decision as a nonprofit, that it was best to unincorporate by allowing the registration expire and for it to become an unincorporated nonprofit association.

Since CFPAU.org does not accept any donations and all work is done by volunteers we accept no financial funding nor provide any funding. Any funds negotiated for refunds or settlements go directly to victims. This is important because we must remain above any influence and remain objective and unbiased in our consumer research and reports. That is why we refuse any payment for our services.

There are no CFPAU financial accounts. We are a unincorporated nonprofit association operated by volunteers, we advocate for consumer victims with state and industry agencies and often meet with state leaders to create better legislation to protect consumers.

We also provide consumer review reports, and opinions about victim experiences  with professionals and companies and organizations that our in depth research has indicated is harmful to consumers. To learn more about our organization, please visit our policy page at https://cfpau.org/policy
