On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department granted the Grievance Committee’s motion to disbar attorney John Felix Magri. The decision follows Magri’s felony conviction for possessing a sexual performance by a child, a class E felony, which he pleaded guilty to on October 11, 2024, in the Supreme Court, Queens County.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of John Felix Magri,” with case number 2025-03160.
The Grievance Committee for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial Districts initiated the motion to have Magri’s name struck from the roll of attorneys under Judiciary Law § 90(4)(b). This legal action was prompted by his automatic disbarment resulting from the felony conviction, as specified by Judiciary Law § 90(4)(a).
Magri ceased to be an attorney immediately upon his felony conviction. The court’s ruling confirmed this status and ordered the removal of his name from the official list of attorneys.
In addition to the disbarment, the court directed Magri to comply with regulations governing disbarred attorneys, as outlined in 22 NYCRR 1240.15. The order also prohibits Magri from practicing law in any capacity, including acting as an attorney or counselor-at-law, offering legal opinions or advice, or presenting himself as an attorney.
Furthermore, should Magri possess a secure pass issued by the Office of Court Administration, he must return it immediately and certify this action in his compliance affidavit.
According to Avvo, Mr. Magri was a lawyer in Forest Hills, NY. He acquired his law license in New York in 1992.
