Attorney Nicholas Barone of Paterson, NJ; slacker

The state of New Jersey presented Nicholas Barone with a law license in 1984 after he graduated from Seton Hall University Law School.

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

• Engaged in egregious conflict of interest by simultaneously representing the driver and passenger in automobile negligence matters
• Negligence led to clients’ lawsuits being dismissed by trial court
• Never took any steps to have client dismissed cases reinstated
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Engaged in gross neglect
• Failed to communicate with clients

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

As we speak (ca. February 2017) Nick practices in Patterson, New Jersey.
