voluntarily consents to disbarment, and that he is fully aware of the implications of
submitting his consent. On February 4, 2026, Disciplinary Counsel filed the
respondent’s affidavit with the Court.
Upon review of respondent’s affidavit, we deem that an order disbarring
respondent is appropriate.

and decreed that the respondent, Raymond T. Trebisacci, be and is hereby disbarred

authorized to have full access to respondent’s client files and office in order to

It is further ordered that Chief Disciplinary Counsel Kerry Reilley Travers is
hereby appointed Special Master over respondent’s accounts. The Special Master
over accounts and/or her designated agents are given sole and exclusive access to
the following accounts heretofore controlled by respondent, either solely or jointly:
business and operating accounts; trust accounts, including special trust accounts;
clients’ accounts; estate accounts; and any and all other accounts related to
respondent’s law practice that he uses presently or has in the past utilized for the
deposit and maintenance of fiduciary and/or clients’ funds and fee advances. The
foregoing list of accounts shall also include any accounts where respondent serves
as an agent, special agent, trustee, personal representative, executor, power of
attorney, or custodian. The Special Master over accounts shall have sole control over
these above-described accounts, to the exclusion of respondent. By this Order, the

Masters to assist them and their agents in effectuating their duties and directs that
any lack of cooperation on respondent’s behalf be reported to this Court for further
action.
