Hunter Biden has voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., following criminal convictions that raised questions about his professional eligibility.
The D.C. Bar’s Board on Professional Responsibility confirmed that Biden, the son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, voluntarily accepted disbarment. The decision means he can no longer work as a lawyer in the district.
By stepping away from his license, Biden avoids a lengthy legal process that could have resulted in forced disbarment. The board had been considering whether his past criminal cases required disciplinary action.
Last June, Biden was convicted of illegally owning a gun while using drugs and lying on a government form about it. Then in September, he pleaded guilty to tax-related charges. His father, President Biden, pardoned him for those offenses in December.
The board’s filings were made public this week, but most details remain sealed. The D.C. Court of Appeals will now review the disbarment, which is standard procedure in such cases.
Biden previously worked as a lawyer and lobbyist but has faced growing legal scrutiny in recent years.
