HIRE A SKILLED ADVOCATE BEFORE YOU RESPOND TO CHARGES
If you receive a notice of charges, your character and fitness review and your entire bar admission process are significantly impacted.
Concerns about your conduct during the bar exam, or in your dealings with NYBOLE itself, can trigger charges against you by the New York Board of Law Examiners.
Violations of NYBOLE Civility Policy
Issues relating to how you behave toward exam staff, proctors, and other applicants may merit charges. This could include disruptive behavior, disrespectful language, or other unprofessional conduct.
Violations of NYBOLE Security Policy
Concerns here involve compliance with strict examination rules and protocols. You may be accused of bringing prohibited materials, communicating with other candidates, or otherwise compromising the integrity of the exam.
Violations of Board Rule 6000.13
This is the board’s overriding formal rule of misconduct. Any form of cheating, falsifying information, or violating instructions is addressed via Rule 6000.13.These charges are serious and demand responses that are vigorous, well-crafted, and well-informed. As a New York ethics attorney who has spent decades representing clients before NYS Bar examiners, David has the experience you need to navigate the process confidently and successfully.
When you face NYBOLE charges, the career you’ve worked so hard to obtain is at risk. Securing the strongest possible representation before the New York Board of Law Examiners may determine whether you move forward or lose everything you’ve invested in your future.

Too Much Is at Stake
Consult With David to Strategize and Minimize the Consequences

Nullification of Exam Results
After reviewing the charges, NYBOLE may void your bar examination results, costing you time, money, and effort. David can help you present mitigating facts and explanations that may prevent your scores from being voided or limit additional sanctions.

Disqualification From Taking Future Exams
If your violation is judged to be severe, you may be prohibited from sitting again for the bar exam for a set period of time. With David’s skilled advocacy, you may secure a shorter suspension or a warning that keeps your path to practice on track.

Character and Fitness Impact
At a minimum, NYBOLE findings of misconduct will be part of your record. Following a generic character and fitness addendum example to disclose and address the matter will only raise additional concerns. You need David’s practical insights to demonstrate accountability and growth so your bar admissions process can continue.
