In re Feder, Jerome Sheldon, 04CH0125
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 10/11/2006
End Date of Disposition 10/11/2009
Definition of Disposition Suspension for a specified period reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, which is a fixed period of time identified in the Supreme Court's order. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Feder, who was licensed in 1958, was suspended for three years. While representing an elderly widow in civil litigation to recover a piece of property, he prepared a power of attorney naming his business partner, client and friend of many years, as the individual who would be responsible for the woman’s affairs. In spite of the woman’s increasing confusion and her attempts through other attorneys to terminate Mr. Feder’s representation, he continued to represent her and disregarded her attempts to revoke his business partner’s power of attorney. His business partner pled guilty to theft for taking excessive fees as the woman’s caretaker. The suspension is effective on October 11, 2006.
