ALBANY – During a review of New York’s attorney disciplinary system, the leader of the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection said one unifying rule should be that lawyers who steal from their clients should be barred from practice.
Timothy O’Sullivan also said Tuesday, at a hearing of the Commission on Statewide Attorney Discipline, that programs to ensure lawyer discipline have been enacted in the First and Second departments of the Appellate Division, but not in the Third and Fourth departments.
