The brash-talking attorney was the focus of two days of disciplinary hearings that will ultimately decide whether he should be disbarred for mishandling client funds. The sometimes-contentious hearings were held …in a third-floor room at state Superior Court in Hackensack before retired Judge Arthur Minuskin, who is the special ethics master in the case.

The state Office of Attorney Ethics has charged Fagan with mishandling almost $400,000 in client funds, including money from two Holocaust survivors: Estelle Sapir, who got a large settlement from the Swiss banks, and Gizella Weisshaus, a Brooklyn woman who was the first survivor to sue the banks.
