David Bamberger New York Attorney David Bamberger NewYork  Attorney - Unthcial Conduct - Disciplinary Complaint New York New York

I am a litigator, Harvard JD, Class of 1982.  In 35+ years of practice (through 11/2017), I have a completely unblemished ethical record.

In 2014, I began to represent a noted wine writer, Hariet Lemeck, in multiple lawsuits filed against her by another noted wine writer, Philip Seldon.  Philip brought a total of four lawsuits against Harriet.  I obtained dismissals of each of them, mostly by winning motions to dismiss in Court.  Philip's MO was to try to extract a cash settlement from me, then, when I rejected his demands, file an anonymous report on me on Ripoff-report.com as "punishment."  This is one of the reports Philip filed on me.  There are numerous others, all written and posted by Seldon.

There is no effective, or at least cost-effective, way to eliminate these reports.  I sued Philip for libel in 2014 and 2015.  In a stipulated order entered 02/25/2016, Philip admitted each of  reports was false and defamatiory.  Bamberger v. Seldon, Sup. Ct. State of New York, New York County Index No. 156504/2014 (NYSCEF Doc. No. 120), so ordered by Justice Bannon.  If you wish a copy of the Stipulated Order containing 23 itemized and conceded libels, please contact me at dbam@nyc.rr.com.

Harriet knew Philip for more than 40 years prior to 2014.  Harriet got her start in wine writing thanks to Philip.  Years later, they were in major NYC wine societies together etc.  I am proud that Harriet never paid Philip one red cent to settle any of the frivolous cases he filed against her.  I can't say I am especially proud to have my good name dragged through the mud like this, but such is the "price" of being a litgator in a big city.  It's not all glory, that's for sure, and sometimes the nuts are going to get you.  During his colorful lifetime, Philip brought I believe more than 110 lawsuits in New York alone.  He brought countless other lawsuits in other cities, a "vexatious litigator" to be sure, and adjudged to be one, most recently by Justice Paul Wooten, in a decision affirmed by the Appellate Division, First Department.  Seldon v. Lewis Brisbois, 116 A.D. 3d 490 (2014) ("Further, given plaintiff's history of vexatious litigation, the court properly required [Seldon] to obtain court approval before filing or serving any litigation papers in this matter against defendants and their privies").        

In the week prior to his passing, I drove up to see Philip on his deathbed.  We "reconciled," even had a laugh or two.  What a character!  Sorry to have subjected you to this, but now you know the story behind these multiple, weird, "rip-off reports" on me.  David E. Bamberger
