Attorney Barry Ginsberg of Blue Bell, PA; serial thief

The state of Pennsylvania presented Barry Paul Ginsberg with a law license in 1973 after he graduated from the University of Tulsa Law School.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel found Barry guilty of the following misconduct.

Over the course of three years, Barry misused client funds to pay his personal expenses. Examples of same are as follows:

• $30.00 e-check payment to Bloomingdale’s
• $50.00 e-check payment to Neiman Marcus
• $57.00 debit payment to CITGO for fuel
• $50.00 e-check payment to the GAP

In addition to the above, Barry used client funds to pay credit card bills to Capitol One, Discover Card, HSBC Credit, and for phone bills payable to Verizon Wireless and Vonage America.

In total, approximately 570 out of 620 transactions related to Barry’s Attorney Trust Account were payments made to creditors for personal expenses he incurred.

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court punished Barry by gifting him with a complimentary 3-year suspension of his law license.

As we speak (March 2016), Barry’s law license will be reactivated in July 2016, which means he’ll once again by practicing at 185 Gleneagles Court in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania.
