How to confirm it officially
For a statement of Joseph Nicholas Williams II’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, which admitted Joseph Nicholas Williams II in 2017. The register publishes no address for this attorney, so it does not show which department’s grievance committee a complaint belongs to; a committee that receives one decides where it goes.
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).
