A non-attorney advertising in another language must post the statutory disclaimer in that language.
A first violation of Executive Law §135-b may lead to a civil penalty up to $1,000.
A second violation may result in suspension.
A first violation automatically requires removal from office.
Correct Answer
D. A first violation automatically requires removal from office.
AI Explanation
Advertising penalties escalate in stages. Executive Law §135-b(5) allows a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for a violation, permits suspension upon a second violation, and removal upon a third violation after notice and opportunity to be heard. For contrast, immediate removal is not the first-step penalty under this section.
