Martin F. Payson is delinquent on the New York attorney register file of Sep 29, 2026. Admitted in 1967 in the Second Department, with an office in Dobbs Ferry, NY; next registration due Dec 2026.

What this status means on the register

On the register, “Delinquent” means the attorney has a registration the register shows as due and not received. Under the rule a failure to register results in referral to the Appellate Division for disciplinary action; the register does not show whether a given attorney was referred.
