Of course it's a legal matter. The Board of Medicine can yank his license or issue a reprimand. "Illegal" doesn't mean they are contemplating putting him in jail.

One of these days you and I are going to have to have a long talk about what is a "legal matter." You seem to go to criminal law as a default position. Maybe I misunderstand, but it seems that way to me.

Just think of your employment with the federal government, and all the little places where you could interface with the employer and the rights and the regulations governing those interfaces. Every time something has the potential to go wrong for you, you have the right to hire your own lawyer.

Not the same as the right to have a court-appointed attorney, that's criminal law.

Will continue conversation later, on my way (for the first time) to DC Superior Court, fascinating but stupid will contest. Nobody told the nephews that they aren't heirs until their mother (sister of the decedent) died, but they sold the house anyway, and nobody knows where the money went. I am afraid they will try to make me an expert in VA law instead of just a spectator, and I am no expert, just a general loudmouth. ;^)
