Have we heard any update about Berg's disciplinary results? It would be a bummer if he had to report yet another sanctions ruling! I would weep crocodile tears!
Nothing new since the 2/10 hearing.
I'm reading the "Investigative Report" regarding the PA State Board disciplinary hearing; it's a doozy.
At Orly's!

This report was written for Orly; I think she hired someone to attend the hearing. The report is marked:

This report is confidential and is intended solely for the use and information of the client to whom it is addressed.
But when has Orly cared about anyone's privacy but her own?
Quote:
Mr. Berg admitted to all charges regarding violations of the rules of conduct, including competence, scope of responsibility, lack of diligence, constant communications, conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, and misrepresentation to the client. He admits that this is not acceptable behavior for an attorney. He claimed that the case occurred during the time of family duties but recognizes that this is not an excuse.
Mr Berg stated that he was reprimanded in 2005 for commingling funds and in 2006 for not properly communicating with a client. He also admits that his bad behavior has had a negative effect on the legal community.

Mr. Berg also stated that he owed an apology to the panel for frivolous claims and suits. When his attorney asked why, he said that in the past he simply had the wrong thought process. He agrees that he acted irresponsibly. He accepts full responsibility. Ha understands and admits that Mrs. McCracken did not receive letters and he dropped his original defense to this case against him.

Many of the questions by Ms. Dugan revolved around the letters that Ms. Liberi sent to Mrs. McCracken. Mr. Berg claims that he did not direct Ms. Liberi to write the letters and therefore he not have firsthand knowledge of them. He said that it was not uncommon for his staff to take it upon themselves to write letters when they felt it was appropriate.
Oh my!
