Andrew Kent was quoted in a Law.com article about President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, whose office was recently raided by the FBI.
New York, where Cohen is admitted, actually addresses presidential pardons in its laws, says Fordham Law School professor Andrew Kent. “If a New York attorney was disbarred due to a felony conviction, and such felony conviction was subsequently reversed or pardoned by the president of the United States,” explains Kent, “the New York courts may, but are not required, to reinstate the pardoned attorney.”
