NY Lawyer Gets Four-Month Suspension for Aggressive Behavior
Bloomberg Law is reporting that a New York real estate lawyer was suspended for four months and ordered to undergo up to one year of counseling for aggressive litigation techniques.
Adam L. Bailey drew the sanction because he failed to apologize for his actions and because he had twice previously been admonished by the state attorney grievance committee for “excessively aggressive behavior while representing a client.”
