On Friday, January 30, 2026, the Michigan Attorney Discipline Board issued a notice announcing the reinstatement of Attorney David Hossein Safavian to the practice of law in Michigan, effective that same date.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of David Hossein Safavian,” with case no. 24-106-RP.
Safavian had been disbarred effective January 4, 2012, in Grievance Administrator v. David Hossein Safavian, Case Nos. 08-186-AI and 11-133-JC. He filed a petition for reinstatement on November 4, 2024, under Michigan Court Rule 9.123(B); the petition was assigned to Tri-County Hearing Panel #8. Following a hearing, the panel entered an order finding him eligible for reinstatement on April 3, 2025.
On January 26, 2026, the Board received written verification from the State Board of Law Examiners confirming that Safavian is entitled to recertification and that he has paid his State Bar of Michigan dues in accordance with Supreme Court Rules 2 and 3. Based on these developments, the Board issued an Order of Reinstatement restoring Safavian’s authority to practice law in Michigan, effective January 30, 2026.
