A former Shelton attorney sentenced in July to 13 years in prison for enticing a minor to engage in sex over a number of years has now been suspended from practicing law for 15 years.

The order by Bridgeport Superior Court Judge Frank Iannotti to suspend Peter Kruzynski means that the disgraced former attorney will not be allowed to practice law for 23 years. While the suspension is for 15 years, Chief Disciplinary Counsel Brian Staines told the Connecticut Law Tribune Monday that Kruzynski will not be allowed to reapply until his entire 23-year sentence is completed. Following his sentence of 13 years in prison, Kruzynski will then be on supervised release for 10 years. The order to suspend Kruzynski from practicing law was made on the recommendation of the Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel, which released its August report of attorney discipline on Friday.
