Howard L. Blau He is only suspended as of 5/20/08... get him disbarred. New York New York
So that he will never hurt anyone as an attorney. This man has no business being an attorney or anywhere near money. With numerous complaints, he might get disbarred and possibly face criminal charges and get convicted as well. Do it now while the case is going on. It's ridiculous that a single man can cause such a havoc.

On February 7, 2008, the Appellate Division, First Department, of the State of New York issued an opinion per curiam of five justices finding that Blau "is guilty of professional misconduct immediately threatening the public interest and should be immediately suspended from the practice of law pursuant to 22 NYCRR 603.4(e)(1)(ii) and (iii)." [Further cites to legal cases omitted.]
This decision was based upon Blau's own admissions, "as well as the substantial documentary evidence of his mishandling and misappropriation of client and third-party funds, and in light of his failure to date to establish his legal entitlement to those monies." Decision at p. 4.
The court's opinion details the matter of three separate clients who were bilked a total of $763,730.55.
