Ty Hyderally should have paid a little more attention when he had his cousin design a website for his New Jersey law practice. Because he didn't, Hyderally found himself before a state disciplinary board answering a charge of professional misconduct.
Hyderally maintains a practice in Montclair, N.J., with several attorneys and a paralegal. In 2005, the lawyer asked his cousin, Yusuf Asgerally, to create a website for his law practice. Asgerally is a California website designer, but not an attorney.
