On Thursday, January 26, 2023, the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division Third Judicial Department entered an Order striking District of Columbia Attorney Hilary Ruth Ledwell’s name from the roll of attorneys of the State of New York pursuant to the latter’s application for resignation from the state bar for non-disciplinary reasons.
The case is styled ‘In the Matter of Hilary Ruth Ledwell’ with case no. PM-07-23.
According to the Memorandum and Order on Motion, Ledwell has been admitted to practice in New York in 2018. Ledwell sought resignation and filed her affidavit on December 12, 2022, to which Attorney Grievance Committee opposed no objection.
Accordingly, the Court, upon determination of Ledwell’s eligibility to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, ruled in favor of Ledwell.
The disposition reads in part:
“ORDERED that Hilary Ruth Ledwell’s application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Hilary Ruth Ledwell’s name is hereby stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law of the State of New York, effective immediately, and until further order of this Court.”
Ms. Ledwell practices in Washington, DC. She had been licensed in New York, license no. 5585518, as well as in the District of Columbia.
