From Prison To Practice

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has reinstated an attorney suspended as a result of a 2005 incident in which, after drinking at a bar, he was “driving a sports car, which he wanted to show off  to a man he just met at the bar.”

His showing off led to an accident and the death of a West Point cadet.

He pleaded guilty to felony homicide by vehicle and was sentenced to 6-12 years in prison. He was released in June 2012.

He also consented to disbarment in 2006.

Since his release, he has been employed as a legal assistant with an Allentown law firm.

The Disciplinary Board found he had rehabilitated himself from a longstanding alcohol problem and was genuinely remorseful. (Mike Frisch)
