This reciprocal discipline case arose from discipline imposed on Mark Goldman by the Arizona Supreme Court’s presiding disciplinary judge, who issued a final judgment and order disbarring Goldman on Sept. 4, 2024.
Goldman’s discipline in Arizona was premised on his abandonment of multiple clients’ cases, leaving his clients unrepresented, in default and facing significant sanctions; his knowing violation of multiple court orders that needlessly expanded and interfered with court proceedings; and his previous suspension for similar misconduct.
The presiding disciplinary judge entered default and imposed reciprocal discipline, disbarring Goldman, effective March 4. Goldman is currently serving a three-year suspension that took effect on Oct. 4, 2024, and a 30-day suspension that took effect on Aug. 15, 2024.
