An attorney who resigned from the New York Bar amid allegations of misconduct should not receive any fee for his work in settling a $2.4 million med-mal suit, a federal judge has determined. The judge said that even if an appeals court determined that Steven F. Goldman had not deliberately fabricated his application for $428,000 in fees, he should receive no more than $100,000 because of the "grossly incompetent and inexplicable manner in which [he] conducted himself" after the settlement was reached.
