Thomas John Hayes Jr. is delinquent on the New York attorney register file of Sep 29, 2026. Admitted in 2011 in the Third Department, with an office in West Milford, NJ; next registration due Sep 2027. Since Jul 3, 2026 it has moved only through the routine two-year cycle. The month shown is the next cycle’s; the delinquency concerns an earlier registration the register did not receive.

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.

For a statement of Thomas John Hayes 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 Thomas John Hayes Jr. in 2011. The register places the office outside New York, so a complaint would go to that department’s grievance committee (22 NYCRR 1240.7(a)(2)).

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).
