Others who list this employer on the register

The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Fellows, Hymowitz and Rice”. We count that spelling with Fellows Hymowitz Rice, the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.

5 other attorneys list Fellows Hymowitz Rice or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 2 of them were admitted before 1985. The 5 whose admission is closest to 1985, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of Margaret Ann Porcelli’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 Margaret Ann Porcelli in 1985. A complaint about this attorney would go to the Second Department’s Grievance Committee for the Ninth Judicial District, which covers Rockland 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).
