On Thursday, January 22, 2026, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Judicial Department granted a motion to reinstate Wooyoung Cho as an attorney and counselor-at-law in the State of New York, effective immediately.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Wooyoung Cho,” with case no. 2025-07745.
The reinstatement comes after Cho’s suspension from practicing law for noncompliance with Judiciary Law §468-a. An order issued on January 30, 2017, had suspended Cho from practice until further notice from the court.
The Attorney Grievance Committee for the First Judicial Department was listed as the respondent in the matter. The court noted that Cho had moved for an order granting reinstatement. Following deliberation and a review of related documents, the court found that Cho complied with Judiciary Law §468-a on or about November 3, 2025, which was after the effective date of the original suspension order.
The decision was made by a panel including Justice Peter H. Moulton, who presided, along with Justices Saliann Scarpulla, Barbara R. Kapnick, Julio Rodriguez III, and Llinét M. Rosado.
According to the filing, Chow acquired a law license in New York in 2008.
