PHILADELPHIA – The chief judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has publicly admonished Philadelphia attorney Leslie A. Puida and her firm, Goldbeck McCafferty & McKeever, for filing backdated documents in a foreclosure proceeding and then lying to the court in an attempt to cover it up.
But despite having found their actions sanctionable following a hearing on the matter, Chief Judge Thomas P. Agresti decided not to impose any penalties on Puida or the firm, instead letting his findings serve as a “public reprimand” and requiring the parties to report to the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and the American Bankruptcy Institute.
