Any attorney who loses his license can still work in any state doing legal work, PROVIDED he does not represent himself in any way as an attorney. This means he cannot appear in court, cannot sign legal documents, nor can he give legal advice. He can do research and legal writing, can fill out forms, etc.
So, the simple answer is... yes, he can. Legally. However, it may be difficult as a law firm may wonder WHY he is no longer licensed to practice law and not want to hire him based on that.

Absolutely. A paralegal works under the direct intimate direction of an attorney and cannot accept a case, set a fee, or represent a person in court (except administrative courts, i.e. worker's comp.). Paralegals don't practice law. He would have to refrain giving legal advice too.

CDL and DL are distinct criteria, as is the fashion of the CDL. As with all and various the sixth modification is enforced, while all and various is threat free till shown in charge. dropping ones pastime isn't an automatic. i ought to bypass added into explaining this yet your very last statement obviously is your avocation on your distain of police officials. in case you look on the numbers, firefighters on and rancid responsibility, who guard CDL licenses are subject to lots of this incidents - yet in spite of this your question didn’t bypass there for glaring motives, prevalent unto you.

I think the first answer is completely correct.
Though, I wonder if a lawfirm would hire a former lawyer as a paralegal. Even if you just lost your license because you didn't pay your dues, I doubt they would hire you.

Technically yes, but I really doubt that he will ever be able to find a job in the legal field again.

Half my staff in Boston has or should have been disbarred. No big deal just don't present yourself as an attorney.
