Rage And Bar Discipline

A two-year suspension was imposed by the Pennsylvania supreme Court as a consequence of the attorney’s conviction of assault in the second degree.

The “road rage” incident led to a four-year prison sentence with all but six months suspended.

The attorney had no prior discipline but did have a pre-admission record of criminal behavior that included a conviction for “atrocious assault and battery” and, in another incident, “had a physical fight with another person wherein he bit off a piece of the other person’s ear.”

He graduated from Rutgers Law after serving time for the ear and became a public defender. He lost the public defender job after failing to pay a $250 fine for contempt of court.

The attorney’s name is Cesar Alvarez-Moreno. (Mike Frisch)
