Rating:  7.8 (Very Good)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1988.

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 1988

updated on 12/11/2014

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.
