Others who list this employer on the register

The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Macvean, Lewis, Sherwin & McDermott, P.C.”. We count that spelling with Macvean Lewis Sherwin & McDermott, the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.

4 other attorneys list Macvean Lewis Sherwin & McDermott or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 4 of them were admitted before 2017, and all 5 give an office in Middletown, NY. The 4 whose admission is closest to 2017, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of Eric Santos’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 Santos in 2017. A complaint about this attorney would go to the Second Department’s Grievance Committee for the Ninth Judicial District, which covers Orange County, where the register places the office.

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).
