NYer Charged With Posing as a Lawyer
New York Lawyer by The Associated Press - July 10, 2008
A New York City man has been charged with practicing law without a license. Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said yesterday that Robert DelCarpio charged a client $7,000 for allegedly representing her son in a deportation case. The son was ultimately deported. Mr. DelCarpio was arraigned Tuesday night in Queens Criminal Court on charges of grand larceny and practicing or appearing as an attorney without being admitted/registered. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison. He was ordered held on $75,000 cash bail and is due back tomorrow. Mr. DelCarpio's lawyer, Donald Schechter, declined to comment.
The guy should have his head examined. Given the low to which the legal profession has gone in New York, no one in their right mind would want to make believe they were a New York lawyer. I'd rather pose as Osama Bin Laden.
ReplyDeletelol, anonymous that is so funny and so true.
ReplyDeleteI thought they all posed as lawyers!
ReplyDeleteTo all of the above writers...so true, and very funny.
ReplyDeletewhy was the Oueens DA Brown excited over DelCarpio not having a license? Answer - he was taking business away from all the phonies!
ReplyDeleteThe DA has to protect his brethren!
Maybe this guy was actually doing a good job and they didn't want any one to find out.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be circus clown, or a bug.
ReplyDeleteactors...bad actors, on the stage of justice make believe....
ReplyDeleteWhen will the ethics committees stop making believe that they oversee ethics by lawyers and judges. The ethics committees themselves are unethical: protecting their guilty friends, and hammering others without due process just so they can meet their number requirements. Throw them in jail.
