Daniel Allan McLaughlin is delinquent on the New York attorney register file of Sep 29, 2026. Admitted in 1997 in the Second Department, with an office in New York, NY; next registration due Oct 2027. The Aug 6, 2026 file listed this registration as due to re‑register. The month shown is the next cycle’s; the delinquency concerns an earlier registration the register did not receive.

What this status means on the register

On the register, “Delinquent” means the attorney has a registration the register shows as due and not received. Under the rule a failure to register results in referral to the Appellate Division for disciplinary action; the register does not show whether a given attorney was referred.
