===Disbarment===
In October 2014, the [[National Community Reinvestment Coalition]] (NCRC) filed complaints against Cronauer and the Cronauer Law Center with the [[Consumer Financial Protection Bureau]] (CFPB) and the [[Federal Trade Commission]] (FTC). The NCRC alleged that Cronauer had engaged in mortgage scams under the guise of offering assistance to property owners threatened with foreclosure. Cronauer consented to [[disbarment]] rather than contest the matter, which means that the facts and circumstances of the admitted misconduct remained confidential.<ref>District of Columbia Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility, complaint dated September 29, 2014 in the Matter of Adrian Cronauer: Board Docket No. 14-BD-075, Bar Docket No. 2013-D224. – District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Order No.14-BS-1101, in re Adrian Cronauer: Board Docket No.14-BD-075, Bar Registration No. 427503.</ref> However, the president of the NCRC made this statement: "The rules apply to celebrities as well. We believe Mr. Cronauer and the Cronauer Law Center to be in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Mortgage Assistance Relief Act rules, and other state and federal laws."<ref>[http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/legal_profession/2014/10/good-evening-vietnam.html Profile], lawprofessors.typepad.com, October 2014; accessed January 4, 2016.</ref>
