A New York appeals court Tuesday suspended the license of a personal injury lawyer for failure to adequately respond, after a client alleged to a grievance committee that the lawyer had settled her personal injury case but hadn’t given her a share of the settlement or paid a Medicare lien that was to be paid from it.
The attorney, David Alan Tessler, whose website says he’s licensed in both New York and New Jersey, also faces a separate complaint lodged with a New York grievance committee by a client who claimed Tessler didn’t contact him from 2016 to the time of the grievance complaint in June 2021, and that he discovered, via the assistance of a different attorney, that a personal-injury suit Tessler brought on his behalf was dismissed in 2019.
