Butler lawyer disbarred for not reporting
A Butler County lawyer has been disbarred for not reporting several criminal convictions he received throughout the years, as well as practicing law after having his law license suspended.
On Thursday the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania disbarred Nathan D. Lyle, 34, of Butler.
On Friday Lyle couldn't be reached for comment and the listed number for his Butler-based law practice was unattended.
Lyle's troubles with the disciplinary board began in 2015, according to findings of fact presented to the board on July 20. The board suspended Lyle as a practicing attorney on April 5, 2015, finding that he failed to complete mandatory continuing legal education. Despite this, the board found, Lyle continued to work as a criminal lawyer on a case from Butler County he had taken in 2014, and did not notify his client that he had been suspended, according to information presented to the board.
