Eric David Musselman is due to re‑register on the New York attorney register file of Sep 29, 2026. Admitted in 2002 in the Second Department, with an office in Aspen, CO; next registration due Jul 2026. The status is the same in all 3 files we hold. The registration was due in Jul 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 “Garfield & Hecht, P.C.”. We count that spelling with Garfield & Hecht PC, the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.

2 other attorneys list Garfield & Hecht PC or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 2 of them were admitted before 2002, and all 3 give an office in Aspen, CO. The 2 whose admission is closest to 2002, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of Eric David Musselman’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 Eric David Musselman in 2002. 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).
