Citations: 183 N.J. 262; 872 A.2d 1051; 2005 N.J. LEXIS 569
Court: Supreme Court of New Jersey; May 4, 2005; New Jersey; State Supreme Court
A. Kenneth Weiner, an attorney formerly based in East Brunswick, is suspended from practicing law for six months due to multiple violations of the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC). Specifically, he is found guilty of gross neglect (RPC 1.1(a)), lack of diligence (RPC 1.3), failing to respond to requests for information (RPC 1.4(a)), failing to supervise attorney employees (RPC 5.1(b)), engaging in dishonesty or misrepresentation (RPC 8.4(c)), and failing to cooperate with disciplinary authorities (RPC 8.1(b)). The suspension is effective immediately and will remain in place until the resolution of all pending ethics matters against him. Additionally, Weiner is ordered to pay a sanction of $500 for not complying with a fee arbitration determination. He is prohibited from practicing law during the suspension and must adhere to Rule 1:20-20. Failure to comply with the Affidavit of Compliance may lead to further repercussions, including delays in reinstatement, additional violations, and potential contempt actions. The case record will be permanently filed in his attorney profile, and he is required to reimburse the Disciplinary Oversight Committee for related administrative costs.
