On Thursday, July 31, 2025, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Judicial Department granted the reinstatement of attorney Alexandra Elser to practice law in the state. Elser had been suspended from legal practice on January 30, 2017, due to non-compliance with Judiciary Law §468-a.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Alexandra Elser,” with case no. 2025-03844.
The court’s decision followed a review of Elser’s motion for reinstatement and the supporting documentation. It was noted that she had taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Judiciary Law §468-a on multiple occasions, specifically on April 3, 2018, January 28, 2020, August 4, 2022, and May 1, 2024. These compliance efforts were critical in the court’s deliberation process.
The suspension was a result of Elser’s failure to meet the obligations outlined in the Judiciary Law, which mandates that attorneys must fulfill specific criteria to maintain their license to practice. The court ultimately found that she had sufficiently addressed these requirements, allowing her to resume her legal career.
The order of reinstatement marks a significant step for Elser, enabling her to once again operate as an attorney and counselor-at-law in New York. The ruling emphasizes the importance of adherence to legal standards and reflects the court’s consideration of Elser’s efforts to rectify her previous non-compliance.
According to the filing, Ms. Elser acquired her law license in New York in 2009.
