On Thursday, September 11, 2025, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued an order suspending attorney Bruce K. Warren Jr. from practicing law for three months, effective October 11, 2025.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Bruce K. Warren Jr.,” with case numbers 090609 and 090610.
The disciplinary action stems from a consolidated decision by the Disciplinary Review Board in cases DRB 24-277 and DRB 24-279.
Warren was found to have violated several Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC). These violations include two instances of lacking diligence (RPC 1.3), two instances of failing to communicate with a client (RPC 1.4(b)), failing to adequately explain a matter to a client to the extent necessary for informed decision-making (RPC 1.4(c)), and failing to treat all individuals involved in the legal process with courtesy and consideration (RPC 3.2).
In addition to the suspension, the Supreme Court ordered Warren to disgorge $1,500 to a former client, identified as M.D. in the Disciplinary Review Board’s decision. Warren must comply with this order within thirty days of the Court’s order.
The Court also mandated that Warren comply with Rule 1:20-20, which pertains to suspended attorneys. Failure to adhere to the Affidavit of Compliance requirement outlined in Rule 1:20-20(b)(15) may lead to several consequences. These include preclusion from the Disciplinary Review Board considering Warren’s petition for reinstatement for up to six months from the date of proof of compliance, a finding of violation of RPC 8.1(b) and RPC 8.4(d), and potential action for contempt under Rule 1:10-2.
The Supreme Court has ordered that the complete record of the matter be permanently included in Warren’s file as an attorney at law of the State. Warren is also required to reimburse the Disciplinary Oversight Committee for the administrative costs and actual expenses incurred during the prosecution of the case.
According to Avvo, Mr. Warren is a divorce and separation lawyer in Westville, NJ. He acquired his law license in New Jersey in 2002.
