Missouri’s Supreme Court showed little tolerance for former Lathrop & Gage partner Allison Bergman, who engaged in an undisclosed personal relationship that was “at times … romantic and sexual” with a client, it said in handing down a disciplinary order of two years’ probation on May 26.
The decision was more lenient, however, than what was originally requested by chief disciplinary counsel Alan Pratzel—license suspension without the possibility of reinstatement for two years.
