ORDER
In July 2026, Bar Counsel filed its petition for disciplinary or remedial action
alleging that Paul Wersant had been disbarred in Florida and the District of Columbia
and asked for the Court to impose corresponding discipline. The Court required both
parties to show cause if they contended that corresponding discipline should not be
imposed. Bar Counsel responded timely. Mr. Wersant sought and obtained an extension
of time to respond. His time to respond was extended until September 18. On September
19, Mr. Wersant moved for a further 30-day extension of time to respond to the Order to
show cause. Bar Counsel opposed the extension.
Upon consideration of the petition for disciplinary or remedial action, Bar
Counsel’s response to the order to show cause, Mr. Wersant’s motion to extend the time
to respond, and the opposition to that motion, it is this 28th day of September 2026, by
the Supreme Court of Maryland,
ORDERED that the motion for extension of time is denied; and it is further
ORDERED that, pursuant to Maryland Rule 19-737(f), corresponding
discipline is imposed on Respondent, Paul Gerard Wersant, and he is disbarred from
the practice of law in the State of Maryland effective immediately; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall give notice of this Order in
accordance with Rule 19-761.
