ALBANY – Appellate justices in Albany on Thursday indefinitely suspended a Bethlehem attorney from practicing law, saying he failed to cooperate with a watchdog committee’s investigation into a client’s complaint.
Roy Nestler, a lawyer practicing since 2001 who worked in criminal and civil law, failed to provide bank statements requested by a grievance committee that examines complaints against lawyers, the ruling said.
