He pleaded guilty in April 2024 to distributing indecent materials to minors, which resulted in a five-year probation and automatic disbarment.

The departure was not entirely voluntary, as his suspension was permanent, deeply affecting his legal career.
In June 2023, Daniel Waxman was arrested after attempting to meet with a 14-year-old girl, who was actually an undercover cop. Following this incident, he pleaded guilty in April 2024 to attempted dissemination of indecent materials to minors.
The guilty plea led to his disbarment from practicing law, impacting his legal career significantly. His disbarment was triggered retroactively from the date of his conviction.
