Attorney Discipline Records

Most of New York's licensed attorneys never face discipline. But when a lawyer is disbarred, suspended, or resigns while under investigation, that outcome becomes part of the public record. This page compiles those records from the New York State Office of Court Administration attorney-registration database, cross-referenced against Consumer Financial Protection Bureau complaint data (debt-collection, mortgage, and lending disputes are where attorney misconduct most often surfaces). Each entry reflects the bar's formal disposition: a recorded finding, not an allegation. See ourmethodology for how we source and verify every figure.

Consumer Complaint Context (CFPB)

Beyond bar discipline, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tracks consumer complaints about debt collection, mortgage, and lending issues, common areas where attorney misconduct surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when an attorney is disbarred?

Disbarment is the most severe disciplinary action a state bar can take. A disbarred attorney has had their license to practice law permanently revoked, typically due to serious ethical violations, criminal conduct, or repeated misconduct. There are currently 2,178 disbarred attorneys in our records.

How many attorneys have discipline records?

PlainAttorney tracks 24,037 attorneys with discipline records, including 2,178 disbarred, 21,141 suspended, and 718 who resigned while facing discipline. This data comes from public state bar records.

Can a disbarred attorney practice law?

No. A disbarred attorney cannot legally practice law. In some states, a disbarred attorney may petition for reinstatement after a waiting period (typically 5-7 years), but reinstatement is not guaranteed and requires demonstrating rehabilitation and fitness to practice.

Where does this discipline data come from?

All discipline data is sourced from public state bar registration records. These are official records maintained by state bar associations and courts. Data is updated quarterly. For the most current status, consult the relevant state bar directly.
