Professional misconduct

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

Admonition issued in NJ, 2008

updated on 11/16/2015

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Patricia’s comment:

“This was a minor admonition that is 10 years old, for a mistaken costs charge. It was corrected then. Please contact me if you require further information.”
