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.
Joel's comment: “I was disbarred for engaging in an impermissible conflict of interest during the years 1995-1996 when I assisted in the representation of my former wife, who was defending a lawsuit, without disclosing my involvement to the court or counsel.”
