Attorney Howard L. Sosnik of New York City; ethical elf

The state of New York provided Howard L. Sosnik with a law license in 1987 after he graduated from Emory University School of Law.

The Appellate Division’s Second Judicial Department Disciplinary Board found Howie guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Failed to properly supervise nonlawyer office manager
• Failure to supervise office manager led to embezzlement of more than $200,000 from client funds

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Disciplinary Board punished Howie by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.

As one would suspect, Howie and his firm fail to mention the misconduct set forth above on their self-serving website at www.moritthock.com. Apparently, they decided to conceal this relevant information from prospective clients so that he would not limit his future victim pool.

As we speak (ca. May 2020), Howie practices with Moritt Hock & Hamroff at 1407 Broadway in New York, New York.
