How to confirm it officially
For a statement of Douglas S. Goldberg’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, Second Department, which admitted Douglas S. Goldberg in 1984. The register publishes no address for this attorney, so it does not show which department’s grievance committee a complaint belongs to; a committee that receives one decides where it goes.
This page reads the register file of Sep 29, 2026, and the court system’s own search can be newer; the register shows only the current value, so a suspension that ended before the files we hold, or a censure, leaves no trace here (Appellate Division decisions are published through the court system’s Law Reporting Bureau).
