In 2004, an investigation of Gisriel began when, according to the Baltimore Sun, "…Gisriel was mistakenly sent a settlement check intended for his former clients. Gisriel argued that his behavior was unintentional, while the court said his action was dishonest." Gisriel failed to investigate the origins of the check and in 2009 was disbarred as a result of the incident after a ruling from the Maryland Court of Appeals. [1]
