I have been practicing law for 35+ years without a single disciplinary action against me. However, in June 2023, I received a 6 month suspension as a result of a $6855 deficiency in my attorney escrow account. I immediately covered the deficit and there was at NO TIME any adverse financial effect on anyone. I subsequently found that at the time when I was going through cancer treatment, I made an unintentional accounting error in balancing my account which caused the account to be overdrawn.
The Appellate Division of New York found that there was no evidence of dishonesty. The official reported decision confirmed "there was no evidence of venal intent..." and "he was experiencing personal problems during the relevant period."
Thankfully, the Appellate Division directed that my license be restored "effective immediately."
I am pleased to share that I am now fully reinstated and have taken all steps to ensure such an incident does not occur again.
My commitment to providing the highest quality legal service remains steadfast. I appreciate your understanding and continued trust.

Great choice
Interviewed four lawyers, chose this one. His integrity and knowledge was really good and was the right choice for my case, which was not a pleasant divorce at all.

A matrimonial attorney with integrity
I hired Mr. Fitzgerald several years ago to assist me in my very complex divorce. He was extremely professional, very knowledgable, and the most competent of all the attorneys I interviewed (as was proven by the disposition of my case). He gives personal attention to each case, as I witnessed first...
"I've had several matters matter with Mr. Fitzgerald and always found him to be a zealous advocate for his clients while maintaining the highest degree of professionalism. One case in particular left a lasting impression on me. The parties were both letting their emotions get the better of them and it would have been easy to escalate matters to the lawyer’s benefit. Mr. Fitzgerald took extra care in managing his client, keeping his client focused on finding a solution instead of fighting. Another lawyer could easily have turned that case into something far greater than it needed to be. His commitment to placing his client’s needs first and foremost, coupled with his knowledge of the law, is a combination that all lawyers should strive for, and I fully endorse Mr. Fitzgerald."
"One of the finest negotiators and litigators in Suffolk County. Any client represented by Mr. Fitzgerald is very well represented."
