On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the Supreme Court of New Jersey disbarred Attorney Scott Eric Diamond. Diamond’s disbarment follows a recommendation from the Disciplinary Review Board in DRB 23-137. He had been temporarily suspended from practicing law since January 12, 2023.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Scott Eric Diamond,” with case no. 090728.
The disbarment stems from Diamond’s guilty plea and subsequent convictions in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The convictions were for mail fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341, and wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343. These actions were found to be in violation of RPC 8.4(b), which concerns criminal acts reflecting negatively on an attorney’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness, and RPC 8.4(c), which prohibits conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. The disbarment also cites the principles of In re Siegel, 133 N.J. 162 (1993), related to the misappropriation of law firm funds.
The Supreme Court’s order mandates that Diamond cease practicing law immediately and that his name be removed from the roll of attorneys. He is also required to comply with Rule 1:20-20, which pertains to disbarred attorneys. Furthermore, any funds held in New Jersey financial institutions under Rule 1:21-6 are to be transferred to the Clerk of the Superior Court and deposited in the Superior Court Trust Fund.
Diamond is also ordered to reimburse the Disciplinary Oversight Committee for administrative costs related to the prosecution of the case.
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Diamond is a discrimination attorney. He attended the Widener University School of Law. He acquired his law license in New Jersey in 1985.
