Real estate attorney Allison Scollar, a lesbian mother who won custody of her adoptive daughter in a highly publicized case, has been disbarred but the decision was kept under seal until now.

She pleaded guilty in November 2015 to grand larceny and residential mortgage fraud. As a result of the felony convictions, a First Department panel ruled in January 2017 that she had to be automatically disbarred but sealed the record because she was a cooperating witness in an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
