Attorney Andrew Plasse of Flushing, NY; check bouncing liar

The state of New York presented Andrew F. Plasse with a law license in 1982 after he graduated from the Syracuse University Law School. Andy was also provided with a law license from Florida and Massachusetts.

The 1^st Department Disciplinary Board found Andy guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to present any form of character evidence or community service is relevant on the issue of sanctions
• Charged with 12 violation of the Disciplinary Rules
• Failed to pay a judgment obtained by a process server agency for approximately three years
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial the administration of justice
• Knowingly issued a check to an expert witness agency from an account with insufficient funds (rubber)
• Attempted to deceive the Grievance Committee concerning his efforts to make rubber check to expert witness agency good (Up yours, said Andy!)
• Made representation to a physical therapist that he would honor her claimed lien on a client's future settlement, then failed to do so
• Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on his fitness to practice law
• Failed to timely obtain an affidavit in support of a client's CPL article 440 motion to vacate a judgment of conviction
• Failed to promptly return client’s retainer which the client was entitled to receive
• Made misleading statements made by the respondent in his personal bankruptcy petition
• Represented to the Bankruptcy Court that legal fees received had been used by his corporation to pay operating expenses when in fact, a considerable portion had been used to pay personal expenses
• Engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation

As one would suspect, this wasn’t Andy’s First bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. He previously received a letter of admonition for neglecting a legal matter entrusted to him.

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Department Disciplinary Board punished Andy by gifting him with a complimentary censure.

As we speak (ca. September 2018), Andy practices at 16307 Depot Road in Flushing, New York.
