Lawrence Weinstein

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has revoked the law license of an Ardmore lawyer and former Northampton Township supervisor who pleaded guilty in October to charges related to surreptitiously taking intimate photographs of women.

Lawrence J. Weinstein was disbarred on consent by order of the state Supreme Court on Monday.

Weinstein was hit with ethics charges by the state attorney disciplinary board in July. Weinstein had been on suspension prior to the disbarment. He was arrested October 2018 and criminally charged.

According to charging documents, Weinstein and girlfriend Kelly Drucker, who was also hit with felony charges, devised a plan to get a woman drunk and take photos of her using the bathroom with a web cam and spy glasses. Prosecutors also alleged that Weinstein had sexual contact with another woman when she was unconscious and photographed it.

Weinstein practiced law at Silver & Silver in Ardmore, but the firm said at the time he was charged that he has been placed on administrative leave while the criminal case is pending. His biography no longer appears on the firm's website.

Weinstein was also a member of the Northampton Township Board of Supervisors, but he resigned in September 2018, according to a report in The Intelligencer. He was elected in 2013 to a six-year term.

Weinstein and Drucker pleaded guilty in October 2019 to charges including conspiracy, false imprisonment, invasion of privacy and reckless endangerment, along with violating Pennsylvania's wiretapping law. In December, Weinstein was sentenced to 11.5 to 23 months in prison and Drucker was sentenced to nine to 23 months in prison. The pair will also be required to register as sex offenders for 15 years, according to a Philadelphia Inquirer report.

According to charging documents, Weinstein and Drucker formed a plan in which Drucker met a woman, referred to in documents as "Victim No. 1," for dinner at a local restaurant. Weinstein instructed Drucker to put grain alcohol in the woman's wine so she would become drunk, then said, "'Don't let her go to the bathroom until she gets back to your place,'" the charging documents said.

The pair later took photos of Victim No. 1 in the bathroom without her consent, using hidden cameras, the charging documents said.

The prosecutors also alleged "indecent contact" between Weinstein and another woman, referred to as "Victim No. 2," and alleged that Weinstein photographed the contact. Those photos were found on an iPad in Weinstein's home, the documents said, and the victim appears to be unconscious. She later told detectives she did not consent to the contact or remember it.

Police began investigating Weinstein and Drucker in August. Drucker had given her teenage daughter a white iPhone that still contained text messages, photos and videos that Drucker and Weinstein had exchanged. The text messages included messages about Victim No. 1. Drucker's ex-husband found the messages and other content on the phone and informed police.

Weinstein's criminal defense attorney, William Goldman Jr. of Goldman Law Offices in Doylestown, could not immediately be reached for comment on his client's disbarment.
