Admitted in 1988 in the First Department, with an office in Washington, DC; next registration due Aug 2026. The status is the same in all 3 files we hold. The registration was due in Aug 2026 and the register has not recorded it as filed.
What this status means on the register
On the register, “Due to re‑register” means the attorney has a biennial registration falling due or overdue: the rule asks for it within 30 days after the attorney’s birthday in each alternate year, and the record gives the month it is due. The value stays until the register records the filing or marks the registration delinquent, so the month can have passed; by itself it is not a finding.

Others who list this employer on the register
The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Mintz Levin”. We count that spelling with Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.
193 other attorneys list Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 11 of them were admitted before 1988, and 13 of the 194 give an office in Washington, DC. The 5 whose admission is closest to 1988, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially
For a statement of Elaine A. Panagakos’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, First Department, which admitted Elaine A. Panagakos in 1988. The register places the office outside New York, so a complaint would go to that department’s grievance committee (22 NYCRR 1240.7(a)(2)).
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).
