John E. Fitzgerald Jr is due to re‑register on the New York attorney register file of Sep 29, 2026. Admitted in 1986 in the Third Department, with an office in Glens Falls, NY; 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.

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of John E. Fitzgerald Jr’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, Third Department, which admitted John E. Fitzgerald Jr in 1986. A complaint about this attorney would go to the Third Department’s grievance committee, which covers Warren 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).
