Others who list this employer on the register

The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Bartlett Pontiff Stewart Rhodes, P.C. Attorneys at Law”. We count that spelling with Bartlett, Pontiff, Stewart & Rhodes, P.C., the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of Malcolm Brocksbank O’Hara’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 Malcolm Brocksbank O’Hara in 1982. 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).
