The Law Offices of Richard E. Grayson provides legal representation to judges and lawyers being investigated for ethics and professional responsibility complaints.

Assistance to Legal Consultants
Mr. Grayson serves as counsel to legal consultants and attorneys who are licensed to practice in other states or other countries, but who are not admitted to the New York bar.
Counselor at Law
Law school does not teach attorneys how to run a business, or how to resolve personal conflicts with associates in their firm. Richard E. Grayson provides counseling to attorneys about problems related to lawyering, such as:
• conflicts with partners, clients or creditors;
• ethical dilemmas;
• daily operations of a law firm;
• stress-related behaviors such as illegal drug use, gambling, alcoholism, prescription drug abuse or sexual misconduct.
Ethics Opinions
When an attorney faces a difficult ethical issue or needs to know if actions or practices fall within professional responsibility guidelines, Mr. Grayson is qualified to provide ethics opinions. A written ethics opinion by an ethics and professional responsibility attorney can insulate lawyers if they later come under investigation, since an ethics opinion shows due diligence in seeking counsel from a neutral professional.
Real Estate Transactions
Mr. Grayson assists residential and commercial buyers and sellers.
