An attorney who repeatedly failed to submit to a court-ordered mental health evaluation has been suspended for three years by an appeals panel that upheld a professional misconduct charge against the lawyer.
Although attorney Cheryl K. Brodsky had no prior disciplinary history, the panel in Matter of Brodsky, 2006-09233, ruled that she was in "violation of an explicit directive ... that she be examined by a qualified medical expert, irrespective of whether or not she agrees with the underlying premise."
Brodsky's suspension arose from a grievance filed in 2006 by Paul J. Kenny, now chief clerk of the Appellate Term, who said that Brodsky, at an interview for a court attorney position, had claimed she was married to Queens Supreme Court Administrative Judge Jeremy S. Weinstein.

I don't know what to think here. Perhaps Brodsky is being maligned or perhaps she's off the wall.
And we don't know what directive she refused.
There's more to this story and it will come out in time.
She had no prior history, Anonymous, so it's possible she's ok and they're just after her.
It's possible.
