In re Elkin, Michael David, 2019PR00099
Disposition Reinstated With Conditions
Effective Date of Disposition 05/19/2022
End Date of Disposition 05/18/2024 Condition(s) satisfied.
Definition of Disposition Reinstatement reflects the determination of the Supreme Court that a lawyer who was disbarred, disbarred on consent or suspended until further order of the Supreme Court has demonstrated in a subsequent reinstatement case his or her rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law to be reinstated, subject to conditions that address issue(s) that arose in the reinstatement case. An order of reinstatement with conditions reinstates the lawyer's license to practice law, but imposes conditions upon the lawyer's practice of law. Upon the determination that the petitioner has established compliance with conditions, the conditions are terminated. If the petitioner does not comply with the conditions, the Court may deny the reinstatement petition.
In re Elkin, Michael David, 2016PR00096
Disposition Suspension for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court
Effective Date of Disposition 09/22/2017
End Date of Disposition
Definition of Disposition A suspension until further order of the Court 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 and until the lawyer has demonstrated rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Elkin, who was licensed in 2005, was suspended for one year and until further order of the court conditioned upon proof of restitution. He accepted fees from three clients in divorce cases and one client charged with driving under the influence. He then neglected their matters, did not respond to his clients’ requests for information, did not refund unearned fees and, in one matter, made false statements to his client.
