That this lawyer would consider this something worth a chuckle is abhorrent, IMO.
I don't know what legal jeopardy may await him, as we don't yet know for certain what, if any, extra-legal role he has played, but I cannot imagine how he won't lose his clientele.
He is notorious now, he has allowed his clients to descend into an abyss of scorn, and his offhand remarks about "dusty relics" is not going to inspire any older clients to hire him in the future. IMO. At least I never would.
In Long Island and here in NYC there are lawyers on every block. He passed the NY bar, he must know something, but he's a walking, talking fiasco. JMO.
