An attorney who was suspended from practicing law after being convicted of groping random women on the Upper East Side<\/a> and in lower Manhattan may now apply for reinstatement to the bar.A panel of the Appellate Division, Second Department, ruled Wednesday in Matter of Kraft, 2013-10852, to suspend Paul David Kraft, 33, from practicing law for one year but gave him credit for time served.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Paul David Kraft (temporarily suspended but maybe soon reinstated), Esq. Hmm. I guess I’ve read too many decisions, so I am impelled to think the Appellate Division, Second Department (that’s the NYS Supreme Court appeals court in Brooklyn) must have some kind of good reason for doing this.<\/p>\n
