Suspending Richard Zeitler for two years in 1980, the state Supreme Court said “the public had to be protected from attorneys” like him, whose “inexcusable” conduct was “an affront to the legal profession.” Zeitler, a solo practitioner in Iselin, already had been suspended for a year in 1976.
Zeitler would go on to receive a reprimand in 1995, the loss of a legal malpractice appeal in 1999 and another reprimand in 2000. That last time, Chief Justice Deborah Poritz ordered him to practice under the supervision of a proctor approved by the Office of Attorney Ethics for two years and to complete the Institute for Continuing Legal Education’s skills and methods course within a year.
