Licensed To Marry, Not To Practice

A reprimand has been imposed by the New Hampshire Professional Conduct Committee for an isolated instance of unauthorized practice of law. 

The attorney was on retired from practice status in Massachusetts and was suspended for non-payment of dues in New Hampshire. He reactivated his Massachusetts license in 2019.

In 2018, he communicated (signing with “Esq.”at first)  with counsel for an entity engaged in a dispute with a person he was engaged to marry.

She owned an interest in a time share condo managed by the entity. 

Opposing counsel reported him after inquiring as to his bar status.

He stipulated to the violation. (Mike Frisch)
