Discipline Summaries

April 17, 2008

BARRY NAKELL [#39298], 66, of Chapel Hill, N.C. was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual 30-day suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE and prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect April 17, 2008.

Nakell has been convicted three times for three separate offenses. In 1991 and 1999 he was convicted of misdemeanor larceny; on both occasions he took a book from a store. In 1996, he was convicted of shoplifting food worth $6 from a deli. As a result, the North Carolina bar placed Nakell on probation twice, gave him two stayed suspensions and censured him.

In mitigation, he suffered at the time from Dysthemic Disorder, a psychiatric condition that entails a low-grade depression that impairs one’s ability to handle stress. It is not a form of kleptomania. Nakell has been treated for the disorder, enrolled in the Lawyers Assistance Program, demonstrated remorse and has a long history of pro bono work.
