On Monday, October 20, 2025, the Supreme Court of New Jersey reprimanded Attorney Daniel J. McCracken following a recommendation from the Disciplinary Review Board. The reprimand stems from violations of several Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC).
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Daniel J. McCracken,” with case no. 090801.
McCracken was found to have violated RPC 1.5(c) by failing to provide an accounting at the conclusion of a contingent fee matter. He also violated RPC 1.15(a) for failing to safeguard funds and for negligently misappropriating entrusted funds on two separate occasions. Further violations included RPC 1.15(d) for non-compliance with the recordkeeping requirements outlined in Rule 1:21-6, and RPC 5.3(a) and (b) for inadequate supervision of nonlawyer staff.
In addition to the reprimand, the Court ordered McCracken to provide proof to the Office of Attorney Ethics within sixty days demonstrating that he has disbursed $8,551.24 to Estate Information Services, LLC (EIS). Should McCracken be unable to locate EIS or its legal successors after a diligent search, he is instructed to remit the same amount to the Superior Court Trust Fund.
The Court also mandated that the record of the case be permanently added to McCracken’s file as an attorney at law in New Jersey. Finally, McCracken is required to reimburse the Disciplinary Oversight Committee for administrative costs and actual expenses incurred during the prosecution of the disciplinary matter.
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Cracken is an attorney in Audubon, New Jersey. He acquired his law license in New Jersey in 2011.
