On May 9, 2007, Bruce C. Britton of Reston petitioned the Supreme Court of Virginia for reinstatement of his license to practice law. The Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board will hear the petition on June 27 at 9 a.m. in the General Assembly Building, 910 Capitol Street, House Room D, Richmond. After hearing evidence and oral argument, the board will make factual findings and recommend to the Supreme Court whether the petition should be granted or denied.

The board seeks information about Britton’s fitness to practice law. Written comments or requests to testify at the hearing should be submitted to Barbara S. Lanier, Clerk of the Disciplinary System, 707 East Main Street, Suite 1500, Richmond, Va., 23219, or by e-mail to clerk@vsb.org, no later than June 10. Comments will become a matter of public record.
According to the VSB, on April 21, 1989, the VSB Disciplinary Board suspended Britton’s license to practice law for five years, effective May 21, 1989, for misconduct in three matters that involved representation of personal injury plaintiffs.

On April 6, 1990, Britton was convicted in Fairfax County General District Court of practicing law after his license had been suspended. He appealed to Fairfax County Circuit Court, where he was found guilty and fined $1,000.

On Dec. 13, 1991, a three-judge panel in Fairfax Circuit Court revoked Britton’s license for the unauthorized practice of law and for trust account violations in his representation of a personal injury client.

Britton filed his first petition for reinstatement on April 25, 1997. The board recommended that the license not be reinstated and the Supreme Court denied the petition.

Copies of the board and Supreme Court orders regarding Britton’s suspension and revocation are available from the clerk at clerk@vsb.org or (804) 775-0539.
