A Year And A (Very Long) Day

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has granted the reinstatement petition of an attorney suspended for a year and a day in March 1992.

After the suspension, the petitioner worked at a warehouse and as a janitor prior to obtaining employment with the IRS in 2001. He now works as a tax law specialist with the Service, a position that does not require him to have a law license.

The petitioner has been arrested for DUI three times but has been sober for over ten years. He also obtained a master's degree in taxation in 2007.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel did not oppose the petition. (Mike Frisch)
