i think he was fined $10,000 for frivolous filings...
i know his buddy orly was.
that would have a little something to do with how the state bar viewed him.
Believe it or not, not everyone is as allergic to knowledge and looking things up as you are. Don't project your intellectual laziness on others.
If he is of such inconsequence, why did you even bother to start this thread?
I notice you've studiously avoided the fact that he is one of yours. And probably had done a lot more actual work for the Democratic Party than you ever dreamed of.
Not to mention the fact that his transgression has nothing to do with his courage in pointing out that Obama's origins had a lot of holes in them.
And they still do.

More precisely, from my earlier link:
According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s disciplinary board, Mr. Berg was derelict in representing the wife of a Hell’s Angel, who had hired him to sue the Lancaster, Pa. police over an allegedly warrantless search and seizure of her home while investigating her husband’s stabbing of a rival motorcycle gang member.
The board found that Mr. Berg failed to answer a motion to dismiss filed by the police defendants, prompting a federal judge to throw out the suit. Mr. Berg dissembled when his client would inquire about progress in the case, the board found, until 2009, when she discovered through an Internet search that the suit had been dismissed years earlier.
The board reported that Mr. Berg was uncooperative with the disciplinary process, raising “frivolous issues” and pursuing “baseless motions that wasted the time and energy” of court officials. While he ultimately admitted violating several rules of professional conduct, Mr. Berg “did not apologize to [the client] but sought to justify his conduct by continually denigrating the merits of the case.”
Moreover, Mr. Berg “did not demonstrate genuine remorse for his misconduct,” the board said, noting that he previously had been disciplined for other rule violations, including “commingling personal funds” with those of his clients and neglecting earlier cases.
