Attorney David De Clement of Montclair, NJ; perjurer, repeat offender

The State of New Jersey provided David Michael De Clement with a law license in 1994 after he graduated from Rutgers University School of Law.

The New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics found Davey guilty of the following misconduct.

Davey’s 1^st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree

• Failed to safeguard client funds in which client or third party had an interest
• Released a portion of escrow funds to a party to an escrow agreement without first obtaining the other party’s consent

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the New Jersey Supreme Court punished Davey by gifting him with a complimentary censure.  

Davey’s 2^nd bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree

• Asserted an issue with no basis in law or fact
• Knowingly made a false statement to ethics investigators (Screw you, said Davey!)
• Made false statement of material fact or law to a third person
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Committed a criminal act that reflected adversely on his honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer
• Blamed personal misconduct on his secretary
• Produced false certification, under penalty of perjury, which constituted commission of a criminal act
• Manipulated state court record

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the New Jersey Supreme Court punished Davey by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.

And lastly, because Attorney Misfits in New Jersey are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else, Davey was never criminally prosecuted for perjury.

As we speak, (ca. April 2020), Dave practices in Montclair, New Jersey.
