On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Judicial Department granted Nadia A. Wallace’s motion for reinstatement as an attorney and counselor-at-law in the State of New York. Wallace had been suspended from practicing law since January 30, 2017, due to non-compliance with Judiciary Law Section 468-a, which mandates certain registration requirements for attorneys.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Nadia A. Wallace,” with case no. 2025-02274.
The court’s decision followed Wallace’s motion to be reinstated, which was reviewed by a panel of justices including Presiding Justice Peter H. Moulton, along with Justices Barbara R. Kapnick, Saliann Scarpulla, Julio Rodriguez III, and Llinét M. Rosado.
The reinstatement was approved after it was determined that Wallace had fulfilled the requirements of Judiciary Law Section 468-a on or about July 10, 2024, and February 27, 2025.
The order, entered by Clerk of the Court Susanna Molina Rojas, took effect immediately, restoring Wallace’s ability to practice law in New York.
Wallace’s reinstatement marks the resolution of a nearly eight-year suspension, allowing her to resume her legal career in the state. The court’s ruling reflects its finding that Wallace had addressed the deficiencies that led to her initial suspension, complying with the necessary legal obligations to regain her standing as an attorney.
According to Avvo.com, Ms. Wallace is an attorney in Brooklyn, New York. She acquired her law license in New York in 2003.
