Submitted: October 7, 2025
Decided: October 9, 2025

Before SEITZ, Chief Justice; VALIHURA and GRIFFITHS, Justices.

PER CURIAM:

ORDER

Having considered the Office of Disciplinary Counsel’s (“ODC”) verified

petition for interim suspension, the Court has received sufficient evidence

demonstrating that A. Zachery Naylor (“Respondent”), a lawyer subject to the

disciplinary jurisdiction of this Court, has been charged with a felony or other criminal

conduct demonstrating that he poses a significant threat of substantial harm to the

public or the administration of justice. The petition reflects that Respondent consents

to interim suspension without a hearing.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that:

(1) The Respondent is immediately suspended from the practice of law in

this State, under Rule 16(a) of the Delaware Lawyers’ Rules of Disciplinary

Procedure (“DLRDP”), pending the disposition of this matter under the DLRDP.
(2) During the period of interim suspension, the Respondent shall:

(a) not practice law in Delaware directly or indirectly, nor shall he

provide any law-related services unless he is directly supervised

by a Delaware lawyer;

(b) not have any contact, direct or indirect, with clients, prospective

clients, witnesses, or prospective witnesses for purposes of the

practice of law or the provision of law-related services;

(c) not attend any court proceeding or ancillary court proceeding on

behalf of a client, address a court on behalf of a client, or make

any legal argument on behalf of a client;

(d) not advertise any law or law-related services;

(e) not independently, or with another lawyer, own, operate, serve as

an officer or director of, or share any interest whatsoever, in any

law firm, association, corporation, or other business entity, the

purpose of which is, in whole or in part, the practice of law;

(f) not display to the public any indicia that he is a member of a law

firm or available to take clients, including any signage, letterhead,

or other written forms, websites, social media accounts or other

internet web-based pages.

2
(g) provide a copy of this Interim Suspension Order to all employers,

whose purpose is in whole or in part, the practice of law,

regardless of whether he is a W-2 employee or a 1099

independent contractor;

(h) fully cooperate with ODC in any efforts to monitor his compliance

with this Interim Suspension Order and these conditions;

(i) report any change in employment (including the name of his

employer and job responsibilities) to ODC within ten calendar

days of his date of hire; and

(j) not share in any legal fees arising from clients or cases referred by

him during the period of suspension to any other lawyer or in any

legal fees earned for services by others during such period of

suspension.

(3) This Order shall be made public.
