Allen Feingold, from Philadelphia, teaches us a valuable lesson about the practice of law. Once you are no longer an attorney, it is advisable to stop practicing law.

After five-years worth of suspensions and an eventual disbarment in August 2008, Allen Feingold was still refusing to comply with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s order as he continued to practice law and failed to notify clients of his disbarment, according to orders in the case.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel had to lock Feingold out of his Philadelphia law office, where he was using another lawyer’s letterhead and ID number to continue his practice. Really Mr. Feingold? Really?

I don’t really remember the appellate advocacy portion of my first year legal writing class. I vaguely remember being nervous, and sort of remember the case, but that’s it. However, I can recall with vivid accuracy my fake oral argument in front of Judge Michael Fisher of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals this past Fall. That was quite intimidating. It is with that memory in mind that I share this little cartoon by Huma Rashid, fellow law student.
