Misconduct Motivated By Desire To Visit Mother

The New Jersey Disciplinary Review Board has imposed a reprimand of an attorney who had forged the name of an attorney on the addendum to a real estate contract. The disciplined attorney represented the buyers; the forged name was that of the lawyer for the sellers.

The motive?

The attorney wanted “to insure that his travel plans to Korea to visit his mother were not interrupted and to accommodate the buyers.” (Mike Frisch)
