Aiding in the Unauthorized Practice of Law

Censure was appropriate discipline for attorney who, after becoming aware that client had mailed out letters under his letterhead and bearing his purported signature in matters in which he had been retained by client did not advise recipients of letters, or court, that he was unaware of, and had not authorized, these letters and thereby aided a nonlawyer in unauthorized practice of law in violation of Disciplinary Rules prohibiting such misconduct.  In re Grossman, 934 N.Y.S.2d 206 (N.Y.A.D. 2 Dept., 2011).
