An attorney who was suspended and later disbarred for misappropriating client funds has been ordered to pay a former client nearly $500,000 in a malpractice case. A special referee in Manhattan Supreme Court ordered Howard L. Blau to pay the former Barnard College employee, who had been charged with third-degree rape. After being found guilty, the man fired Blau, brought on new counsel and was acquitted. The judgment is the latest in a string of problems for Blau, who has faced lawsuits by other former clients.

Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly reported the year in which plaintiff Donald Glassman hired attorney Howard L. Blau as 2007. He was hired in 2006. The article also misstated the time frame in which Blau has faced malpractice claims as starting in 1998. Since 1988, he has been sued five times.
