(December 12, 2008). ("Lawyer Disbarred for Failing to Pay Sanctions, Fees in Holocaust Case" ). ''New York Law Journal''; retrieved October 15, 2009.〕 and New Jersey for failing to pay court fines and fees and for stealing client money and escrow trust funds from Holocaust survivors.

==Background==
Fagan was born in Harlingen, Texas and raised in a Conservative Jewish〔 home in San Antonio, Texas and has two children. Prior to embarking on his legal career, he traveled to Israel to take part in the Yom Kippur War.〔〔Rostron, Bryan (August 12, 2002). "(The business of apartheid )". New Statesman. Retrieved on January 31, 2010.〕 After returning to the US, he enrolled in Cardozo School of Law and graduated in 1980.〔 He initially worked as a personal injury lawyer,〔 then worked with a large law firm, representing corporate defendants, before he started an exploration club for the wealthy in the 1980s, allowing rich customers to visit exotic locations, entertained and accompanied by scientists and environmentalists. A nonprofit venture of the business, the Odyssoe Foundation, was created in 1991, but collapsed with the entire enterprise.〔Meier, Barry (September 8, 2000). "(An Avengers Path: A Special report.; Lawyer in Holocaust Case Faces Litany of Complaints )". ''New York Times''. Retrieved on October 15, 2009.〕
Clients and partners have stated publicly and in court, that Fagan often failed to represent the interest of his clients, he generally took on "too many clients", "vastly outstrip() his resources", and was "often absent for the legal fight". According to Burt Neuborne, law professor at New York University, who had worked with Mr. Fagan before breaking with him, "Mr. Fagan's filing in the Swiss banks case was so inadequate that a judge asked him to rewrite it. ... This was an ordinary man who got swept up in issues that were bigger than he was."
