Bankruptcy judge scolds ‘dishonest’ attorney

A federal judge has dismissed a bankruptcy case filed by a personal injury attorney who failed to disclose more than $400,000 in income.

Attorney Jeffrey M. Brody concealed referral fees he had received before he petitioned for bankruptcy protection and while the case was pending, according to the judge.

“The debtor is not an ‘honest debtor’ deserving of the substantial benefits afforded by a bankruptcy discharge,” U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kyu Y. Paek stated in the July 28 decision. “Creditors were kept in the dark.”

Brody ran his own law firm in Kingston, Ulster County, until 2017, and then joined Finkelstein & Partners, in Kingston.
