What happens to an attorney if negligence is found in a grievance complaint?

What happens to the attorney, will I get some sort of reimbursement for fees paid to the attorney, I have filed a grievance and the attorney was found neglible. What happens now?
The attorney grievance committee said that my attorney was with out a doubt negligent.
My attorney also contacted me and asked me to withdraw the complaint, which the grievance committee said makes mine a "hotter " case.

  1. The attorney could get fined, sanctioned, suspended and/or lose their license to practice law -- depending on the severity.



    Do you mean "negligible" (as in not significantly at fault) or "negligent" (meaning, at fault)?
  2. sanctions from the bar and the court can include damages.
