Attorney Dan De La Rosa of New York City; greedy thief

The state of New York presented Dan M. De La Rosa with a law license in 1995 after he graduated from Benjamin Cardozo Law School.

The Departmental Disciplinary Committee found Danny guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, Danny found it acceptable to screw his client by submitting a false expense report and related invoices arising out of a trip to Las Vegas, on a client matter, thereby inflating his expenses by approximately $2,000. Johnny’s false expenses were as follows:

• Billed $2,124.80 for hotel vs. $1,766 actual expense
• Billed $2,044.50 for airfare vs. $799 actual cost
• Billed $799.33 for car rental vs. $451.15 actual cost

In addition to the sham expenses aforementioned, Danny also submitted an alteredtravel agency itinerary/invoice which made it appear that all of the hotel and airfare costs were for him alone, and an altered invoice from the Venetian Hotel which indicated that the charge was for a five-day, rather than a 10-day stay. 

As a consequence of his misconduct, the patron saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the State Disciplinary Commission punished Danny by gifting him with a complimentary censure.

Because Attorney Misfits in New York are held to a much lower standard of conduct then every one else, Danny was never criminally charged with grand theft.

As we speak (ca. April 2015), Danny practices at 300 East 77^th Street in New York, New York.
