More than a decade ago, a long-simmering disagreement over a bar association speeking invitation extended to civil rights attorney William Kunstler led former Nassau County Judge Marc Mogil to send a torrent of threatening letters to a defense attorney, ultimately costing him his robe, gavel and law license.
Now the ex-judge wants to practice law again but the target of his letter campaign - attorney Thomas Liotti of Garden City - is determined to prevent it.
“This guy is absolutely dangerous and should not practice law or represent people,” Liotti said.
On Oct. 4, Mogil filed a motion for reinstatement as a lawyer with the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court.
Mogil was elected to the District Court bench in 1986 and to the County Court in 1990. He was removed Oct. 15, 1996, by the Court of Appeals which called his conduct in the matter with Liotti “offensive, harassing and vindictive.”

Obviously removed the wrong guy.
