Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has broken his silence following reports that he is not allowed to practice law in the Southern New York District.
Buzbee, who is representing dozens of Sean “Diddy” Combs accusers, has had several of his cases blocked until he can prove that he is licensed to practice in the region.
Diddy has also filed a motion in court hoping to have the cases thrown out, claiming “egregious misconduct” as Buzbee cannot practice law in the Southern New York District.
“Over the past week, I’ve gotten multiple inquiries from friends and colleagues expressing concern and asking why I have been “barred” from practicing law in New York State and offering their assistance,” Buzbee wrote alongside a document showing that he is registered and licensed in the state. “I myself have seen several press agencies, some borderline legitimate, reporting that same trash. Let me be clear. I’m licensed to practice law in New York. I’m in good standing with the state bar and have always been. Although I prefer Texas, I’m proud of the legal work we are doing in New York.”
Buzbee warned his supporters not to believe the “clickbait.”
