Two Long Island attorneys were disbarred after they offered their resignations in the face of pending disciplinary proceedings. The Appellate Division, Second Department, disbarred David Linn of Great Neck and David M. Green of Woodmere in separate Feb. 6 rulings. Both acknowledged they could not successfully defend themselves on the merits of their cases.
Linn, a graduate of Brooklyn Law School who was admitted in 1996, failed to preserve and remit $16,500 in a trust account given to him by a client and failed to handle an appeal despite receiving a $2,600 retainer from a client. Linn also acknowledged he was the subject of a disciplinary probe arising from the conversion of funds from real estate transactions. Justices Randall Eng (See Profile), Reinaldo Rivera (See Profile), Peter Skelos (See Profile), Mark Dillon (See Profile) and Daniel Angiolillo (See Profile) sat on the panel in Matter of Linn, 2011-09529.
