Attorney Chaim Berglas of New York City; lying loser

The state of New York presented Chaim Howard Berglas with a law license in 1991 after he graduated from Cardoza Law School.

The Appellate Division Disciplinary Panel found Chaim guilty of the following misconduct.

• Submitted false filings to Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
• Assisted three clients to file applications for political asylum listing a false residence in New York in order to give the New York City INS office jurisdiction over the matter
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Knowingly made a false statement of law or fact
• Counseled client to engage in illegal or fraudulent conduct

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Appellate Division Disciplinary Panel punished Pete by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. August 2016), Chaim practices with the Schiller Law Group PC at 120 West 42^nd Street in New York, New York.
