► Attorney Jack Phillips of New York City; ethical leper-con |
Attorney Jack Phillips of New York City; ethical leper-con The state of Florida provided Jack Barry Phillips with a law license in 1999 after he graduated from St. Thomas University Law School.
The Florida State Bar found Richard guilty of the following misconduct.
In one matter, Jack was hired by Jose Nicolas Castillo to represent him in immigration court proceedings. Castillo had previously been denied political asylum and was the subject of removal proceedings. During the removal proceedings, testimony established that Castillo married an American citizen and sought to gain lawful permanent residence with an application for change of status. Since Castillo was already in removal proceedings, the INS had exclusive jurisdiction to hear the adjustment application.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Florida Supreme Court punished Jack by gifting him with a complimentary 3-year suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. January 2013) Jack practices at 244 5th Avenue in New York, New York.
