Wait, you need a license to practice law now?

Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi and Evesham Township Police Chief Michael Barth announced that a Medford man was arrested today on charges of practicing law without a license.

Demetrio S. Timban, 45, of 13 Catamount Drive, Medford, was charged with one count of Unauthorized Practice of Law (Fourth Degree). Evesham Township police took him into custody today at his home. He was released after posting 10 percent of the $5,000 bail that was set by the Hon. Jeanne T. Covert, J.S.C.

The investigation revealed that Timban is an attorney and is licensed to practice law in Michigan and New York, but not in New Jersey. His unlicensed status in New Jersey was discovered after Timban represented an individual in Evesham Township Municipal Court.

Timban was paid $500 by his client for his representation. Timban represented his client on two occasions earlier this year, once in March and once in May. Timban had given the client a business card that listed himself as an attorney for The Timban Law Group in Cherry Hill and indicated he was “Specializing in Bankruptcy & Creditor’s Rights; Immigration & Nationality Law; Family Law; Alternative Dispute Resolution and Real Estate Law.”

The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office Financial Crimes Unit and the Evesham Township Police Department conducted the joint investigation.
