Hunter Biden could lose his ability to practice law in the nationâs capital after a disciplinary agency moved to have his law license suspended this week.
The Office of the Disciplinary Counsel, which oversees disciplinary cases for members of the Washington, DC, bar, filed a ânotice of disciplineâ with the DC Court of Appeals on Monday seeking to suspend the first sonâs law license over his recent felony convictions.
The DC bar considers any felony as a “serious crime,” and as such, the court would be able to âenter an order immediately suspending the attorney, notwithstanding the pendency of an appeal.â
Hunter, 54, graduated from Yale Law School in 1996 and was admitted to the DC bar in 2007.
He is currently listed by the association as an âactiveâ member in âgood standing.â
The first son pays $331 yearly to maintain his active membership in the bar, though he has never actively practiced law in DC.
Hunter held an âof counselâ position at the Democratic law firm of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP while his father was vice president.
A Delaware jury found Hunter guilty of three felony counts last week related to lying about his crack cocaine addiction on a government form while illegally purchasing a firearm.
He is also facing multiple felony counts out of California stemming from allegations that he dodged more than $1 million in income taxes which helped finance years of âextravagantâ living.
Hunterâs lawyer did not respond to The Postâs request for comment.
