san francisco chronicle appellate case victory higbee

Higbee and Associates was mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle for a recent victory in the California Court of Appeals.  The suit was against non-attorneys engaging in the unauthorized practice of law by offering expungement related services.  The victory comes in the form of a published California appeals case that makes clear that attorneys can, in some instances, sue non-attorneys for unauthorized practice of law.

The California Court of Appeals published its ruling in Law Offices of Mathew Higbee v. Expungement Assistance Services.
