A veteran New York lawyer has been suspended from practicing law after a state appeals court unanimously found that his “derogatory, undignified and inexcusable” written comments about both trial and appellate judges showed “flagrant disrespect for the judiciary.”
In a forceful opinion, the Appellate Division, First Department panel pointed to multiple “examples” of arguments made in court papers over the years by lawyer Gino Giorgini, including his capitalized diatribe about factual case-findings made in 2005 by Suffolk County Supreme Court Justice Thomas Whelan.
