Others who list this employer on the register

9 other attorneys list Butzel Long or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 2 of them were admitted before 1999, and 3 of the 10 give an office in Troy, MI. The 5 whose admission is closest to 1999, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of George Benjamin Donnini’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 George Benjamin Donnini in 1999. 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).
