Date: March 1st, 2018 5:04 PM Author: fragrant black woman Anthony Zappin, a 30-year-old patent lawyer, was hit with the fine for a “maelstrom of misconduct” that continued despite repeated warnings to cease. Zappin did “everything in his power to undermine the legal process and use his law license as a tool to threaten, bully and intimidate, seriously calling into question his fitness to practice law,” wrote Justice Matthew Cooper of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County in Manhattan.
Zappin, a 2010 graduate of Columbia University School of Law, was referenced in the news articles as an associate with Mintz Levin. However, Zappin’s bio on the firm’s website was taken down on Tuesday. The ABA Journal called Mintz Levin and was told by a receptionist that Zappin is no longer employed there. Mintz Levin’s communications director later confirmed this by email.
His wife, Claire Comfort, who finished law school at Columbia a year earlier, is an associate and patent lawyer with the firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges. The litigation surrounding their divorce began in November 2013.
Justice Cooper’s sanction order details various behavior by Zappin, including insults to judges. Cooper quoted a transcript of Zappin telling Justice Deborah Kaplan, “I am tired of these lies coming from you on the record. It’s lie after lie that comes out of your mouth.” In another incident, Zappin attached a hand-written note to a judge stating, “You’re pathetic! (Judicial Complaint forthcoming).”
Cooper added that Zappin had made other “frankly outrageous” verbal attacks on Justice Kaplan in a March 2015 hearing that “can only be described as words not said in civil discourse, let alone ones that should ever be uttered by an attorney to a judge in the context of a court proceeding.”
Zappin pushed back most strongly against attorney Harriet Cohen, chosen by the court to represent the interest of the couple’s two-year-old son. Cohen, a partner at Cohen Rabin Stine Schumann, had recommended that Zappin be given only supervised visitation with the boy.
