The barrister tasked with helping Veronica Nelson before she died alone in her prison cell is being investigated by the legal services watchdog.
A complaint against Tass Antos was initiated by Victorian Legal Services Commissioner Fiona McLeay after an investigation by a coroner found Ms Nelson's death in 2020 was preventable.
Legal services provided by Mr Antos, who spoke with Ms Nelson for just six minutes after her arrest, were inadequate according to findings handed down by Coroner Simon McGregor last month.
