Lawyer Who Filed Notice Of Claim In Newtown Shooting Was Suspended In 2003

Irving J. Pinsky, the lawyer who made national news by filing a notice of a claim against the state Dec. 27 for $100 million on behalf of a girl who survived the Newtown school massacre — and then withdrawing the claim, days later, amid public outrage — was suspended from the practice of law in Connecticut in 2003 after a finding that he acted unethically in representing a client who had been in a car accident.
