TRENTON — A prominent Bergen County lawyer recently had his law license suspended for admitting that he secretly helped his business profit while serving as a borough attorney.

The state’s Disciplinary Review Board agreed to have Dennis Oury’s three-year suspension retroactive to when he was first temporarily suspended in November 2009.
