William P. Deni

On February 19, 2003, Citizens for Legal Responsibility received via the Internet a threatening email dated February 19, 2003, from attorney William P. Deni of New Jersey.  To see a copy of his email, click on Deni email.

Attorney Deni has made several allegations but has not provided any proof of his allegations.

Mr. Deni, please provide us full and complete copies of all complaints made against you with the State of New Jersey attorney disciplinary entity, and with any other state attorney disciplinary entity, and any and all charges of misconduct or possible misconduct, made by any client against you, whether oral or written.

Please provide us also with full and complete copies of all lawsuits filed no matter where located and no matter how disposed, wherein you were or are a defendant.

Please also provide us with a full and complete list of the names, last known addresses and phone numbers of all of your clients, both past and present. As you should know, lists of clients have been held by the courts to be business records, and therefore are not within the client-attorney privilege exemption from disclosure.

Please provide the above along with your affidavit that your submissions are accurate, full and complete.  Upon receipt of the above, our Review Board will review your documentations and investigate your allegations to determine whether or not you have brought disrepute to the legal business.  If our Review Board finds that you have not brought disrepute to the legal business, then your name will be removed from our web-site.

Mr. Deni alleges in his letter that he has an "impeccable record", but has not provided any evidence of these allegation.  Apparently at least one person does not agree with Mr. Deni's personal conclusion, as this person(s) filed a charge of misconduct with the New Jersey attorney disciplinary agency, and attorney William Paul Deni was investigated by the disciplinary agency under case no. VII-93-033E. Did you inform your potential client that you were investigated by the New Jersy attorney disciplinary agency? Or were you silent on this issue?

Are you denying that you were reported to the New Jersey attorney disciplinary agency for misconduct, and that case no. of VII-93-033E was assigned to your case?

CLR will request that the Review Board also investigate if all of his current and former clients have the same opinion of attorney Deni that he has of himself.

Mr. Deni, is not the sending of your type of email to us a violation of State and Federal laws?

Mr. Deni, do you remember when you took an oath upon becoming an attorney, and perhaps several times since, that you would support the U.S. Constitution? Is not your threatening email an attempt to interfere with our First Amendment Rights under the Constitution that you took an oath to support? We intend to file misconduct charges with the New Jersey attorney disciplinary agency for your sending such email to us.

Mr. Deni, do you honestly believe that a jury, after reviewing all of the evidence, will find that in the opinion of the public, that you have not brought disrepute to the legal business?


Note to all current and former clients of attorney William P. Deni.  Citizens would appreciate if you would inform Citizens that you are, or were formerly, a client of Mr. Deni. This information is only requested to see if Mr. Deni will provide an accurate, full and complete list of his current and former clients, and will be kept confidential.  Contact Citizens at Deni@clr.org.
