New Jersey. Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
On this date, in the Garden State, the Supreme Court of New Jersey reprimanded lawyer Nathaniel M. Davis as a result of his suspension for one year and one day in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
That suspension was based upon monsieur Davis’ improper practice in that state for a period of three years while on inactive status. In addition, Mr. Davis engaged in misrepresentations to the court, opposing counsel and the continuing legal education board.
Come on Pennsylvania! Was Davis under oath when he made misrepresentations to the court, opposing counsel and the continuing legal education board? Obviously not or he’d have been charged with perjury, disbarred and running for president.
Obviously New Jersey didn’t want to see Mr. Davis lose his ability to earn a living making “misrepresentations” so they did the sporting thing and “reprimanded” him instead of suspending him while he was on suspension in Pennsyltucky. Boo-Ya Jersey!
Richard J. Engelhardt appeared before the Discipline Review Board for the Office of Attorney Ethics. Robyn M. Hill appeared for Respondent.
Have any of Mr. Davis’s clients, opposing parties or the public been injured as a consequence of his actions? If so, are those who were injured satisfied with the discipline imposed in this case? Has restitution been made?
Have there been any other instances of misconduct by Mr. Davis that haven’t been addressed by the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics or the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board?
