Excellent attorney

Jay Chatarpaul has provided me with consultation and legal services for several years. I have found him to be hard working and dedicated in my cases. He has always been truthful and informs me of pertinent laws regarding my cases prior to moving forward which allows me to make informed decisions.... He keeps me updated on the status of my case in a timely manner

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2003

updated on 11/04/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Jay’s comment:

“This reciprocal discipline was the result of a case in New York in 1997 (18 years ago), when I first started practicing law. We were successful in dismissing the client's criminal case. The client then cancelled his credit card payment because he said he overpaid us, as the case was dismissed after only two court appearances. Regrettably, several unprofessional letters were sent out from my office. I took responsibility for the conduct of my employee and have moved on from mistake”

Suspension issued in NY, 2000

updated on 06/26/2017

Suspended 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.
