Representation Before The New York Board of Law Examiners (NYBOLE)

You received a Notice of Charges from the NY Board Of Law Examiners. How will this impact your character and fitness review? The letter states charges involved with violating the Board’s Civility Policy, Security Policy, or Board Rule 6000.13, which “prohibits acts of fraud, dishonesty and other misconduct in connection with the application to and the taking of the bar examination.”

The letter also describes the potential penalties.

Terrific lawyer and person

 

 

Mr. Lewis has handled the New York legal ethics matter I had entrusted him with to my full satisfaction. He provided candid, effective advice throughout the course of representation. I greatly enjoyed working with him, and recommend Mr. Lewis’ services without reservation to attorneys (or those seeking to become attorneys) facing any legal ethics issue in New York.

An excellent lawyer who practices in the ethics and professional responsibility arena… He has very good judgment and excellent knowledge in the area.

A fine lawyer, with very good judgment and excellent knowledge in the legal ethics and professional responsibility field.

Exceptional judgment, deep experience. I trust him with the most important and sensitive matters.

Experienced lawyer with highly impressive credentials. Highest standards of integrity.

Recognized expert in his field of legal ethics and professional responsibility

Mr. Lewis was was recommended to me by a good attorney friend who had the unfortunate circumstance of requiring Mr. Lewis’ assistance in a long and expensive ethics related litigation. While I have never had a situation quite so dire, I do — with regularity — face situations where ethics guidance is necessary and there is just no substitute for Mr. Lewis’ sage counsel. I’ve relied on Mr. Lewis’ counsel on many occasions and plan to continue to do so for so long as I am in the practice of law.

Powerhouse ethics counsel and very thoughtful; my go-to source for the thorny questions that come up all the time.

David is a knowledgeable, dedicated, and effective attorney. Sensitive to the client’s needs in sometimes delicate matters. Will recommend him without hesitation.

This is not something that you were expecting, and you never imagined finding yourself in such a situation.

It causes great anxiety and makes you question if your career and future are at risk.

You start to search for guidance and realize that finding trustworthy information about how to handle these specific charges is difficult to find. You don’t know how to respond and need help regarding NYBOLE representation.

You want to get advice from an experienced BOLE attorney. You want NYBOLE representation from someone who has done this many times for many people. 

You should also look for a lawyer providing representation before NYBOLE who will consider the fact that you may have two audiences to address:

1. The Board of Law Examiners (by submitting your response or Verified Petition)
2. Future potential review by the Committee on Character & Fitness (the minimum penalty is reporting you to the Committee, and you would likely have to disclose the fact of the charges by the New York Board of Law Examiners even if proven innocent)

These are some of the questions that you may be wrestling with:

• What if I made a simple mistake? Can I easily get out of this?
• How serious is this?
• Is it a bad idea to try representing myself before the Board of Law Examiners?
• How can I be sure to present myself in the best light?
• Why should I consider having a lawyer help respond to the notice of charges by the New York Board of Law Examiners?
• Why should I care about a Report to the Committee on Character & Fitness?
