Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Reciprocal - Reprimand issued in DC, 2008

updated on 12/29/2016

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in District of Columbia Bar.

Reprimand issued in CT, 2007

updated on 02/03/2009

A reprimand is an order from the Statewide Grievance Committee after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.

Suspension issued in CT, 1994

updated on 12/10/2014

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Disbarment issued in NY, 1994

updated on 01/04/2017

Disbarment is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court to understand the reasons for disbarment.

Suspension issued in DC, 1994

updated on 12/29/2016

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
