Attorney Daniel Levy of New York City; lying loser

The state of New York presented Daniel Hudson Levy with a law license in 2005 after he graduated from Fordham University Law School.

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

Shortly after opening up a law office with attorney Shane Rios, Danny and Shane were hired by a client who said she had been injured when falling on a church sidewalk.

Several months later, Danny and Shane were aware that the woman’s initial story was not sufficient to support a lawsuit, so they decided to assist the client to manufacture a false story to support alternative legal claim by “explaining” the law to her.

The compliant and equally greedy client cheerfully changed her story and Danny and Shane filed a lawsuit against a new defendant who owned a home across the street from the church.

Because Danny and Shane were lacking prior trial experience, they brought in another attorney to assist in conducting the trial. To assure that the new attorney did not learn that they had coached the client to change her story Danny and Shane removed documents from the file that would have shown that they had initially pursued a claim against the church.

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the First Departmental Disciplinary Committee punished Danny by gifting him with a 9-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (April 2014), Danny practices with Kriss & Feit at 360 Lexington Avenue in New York, New York.
