Sheldon Kronegold, Esquire | SUSPENDED

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

On this date in the Gar­den State, the New Jer­sey Attor­ney Dis­ci­pline Review Board (the DRB) sus­pended Shel­don H. Kro­ne­gold, Esquire [#102047] for six months effec­tive April 11, 2009 for con­duct result­ing from respondent’s sus­pen­sion for two years in the State of New York, includ­ing pay­ing a non–lawyer per­sonal injury clients, with­out fil­ing with the New York Office of Court Admin­is­tra­tion the retainer and clos­ing state­ments required there by law.

Christina Blunda Kennedy, Esquirette appeared before the DRB for the New Jer­sey Office of Attor­ney Ethics (the OAE).

Richard E. Mis­chel, Esquire appeared on Sheldon’s behalf.

Shel­don is a repeat offender of the New Jer­sey Rules of Pro­fes­sional Con­duct. He was rep­ri­manded in 2000, tem­porar­ily sus­pended in 2006 sus­pended for six months Octo­ber 10, 2008. Hereto­fore his aggre­gate uneth­i­cal con­duct has not risen to a level deemed mer­i­tous of dis­bar­rment by New Jer­sey bar overseers.

Were any of Sheldon’s clients injured as a con­se­quence of his mis­con­duct in this or the under­ly­ing mat­ter? Was resti­tu­tion ordered? Paid?

Have there been other instances of mis­con­duct by Herr Kro­ne­gold that haven’t been addressed by the DRB?
