Attorney Richard Savitt of New York City; lying scammer

The state of New York presented Richard Paul Savitt with a law license in 1996 after he graduated from Suffolk University School of Law.

FYI: Suffolk University is ranked as the 159^th best law school in the country out of 202 ABA accredited schools.

The Appellate Division, First Department Grievance Committee found Dick guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty, or misrepresentation
• Engaged in frivolous litigation
• Made false statements of fact or law to a tribunal or failing to correct a false statement of material fact or law previously made to the tribunal by a lawyer
• Engaged in undignified or discourteous conduct before a tribunal
• Frivolous conduct led to imposition of $46,150 in court-imposed sanctions
• Demonstrated no effort to pay the sanctions imposed against him and showed no appreciation for the professional
• significance of the judicial findings underlying them

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the First Department Grievance Committee punished Dick by gifting him with a complimentary 2-year suspension of his law license. 

As we speak (ca. February 2021), Dick practices his brand of law with the Savitt Law Firm PLLC at 6 East 43^rd Street in New York, New York.
