No Further Sanction For Attorney First Admitted In 1956

An attorney who was disbarred in New York had that sanction reduced to no sanction at all  in New Jersey.

The court noted that no sanction was required so long as he does not seek readmission.

The attorney had been admitted in New York in 1956 and was disbarred in 2011.

From the report of the Disciplinary Review Board noting he had engaged in unauthorized practice and recommending a one-year suspension

respondent has the additional misconduct of gross neglect, conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, and failure to cooperate with disciplinary authorities. His misconduct, especially the level of neglect displayed in Holmes- Williams’ matter, and his dramatic lack of cooperation, is exceptionally more egregious than the conduct of other attorneys guilty of similar violations

Mitigation

In mitigation, the OAE notes, respondent’s unblemished record in New Jersey during his forty-six years of practice, his [Navy] service, and his age (eighty-four at the time of his disbarment in New York)

His licensehad been revoked in New Jersey for failure to pay bar dues.  (Mike Frisch)
