Others who list this employer on the register

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

4 other attorneys list Richardson, Pullen & Buck, P.C. or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 1 of them was admitted before 1997, and all 5 give an office in Fillmore, NY. The 4 whose admission is closest to 1997, earliest first:

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).
