Real Housewives of Potomac star Eddie Osefo and his wife, Wendy Osefo, are in the midst of an ongoing insurance fraud case. But can he still practice law?
Following the news of Eddie’s new career in real estate, his status with the Bar has been confirmed.
“According to the D.C. Bar information I found, Eddie is currently listed as an ACTIVE member in GOOD STANDING. The D.C. Bar says an attorney in good standing has no current suspension,” Vanessa, of Realitea Recap on Instagram, revealed in a post shared on Instagram on September 3.
“His Happy Eddie website also appears to still be active,” she continued. “So, based on what I found, there’s nothing indicating that he’s entering real estate because he has been barred or suspended from practicing law.”
In an accompanying screenshot, it was revealed that Eddie was admitted to the Bar on January 10, 2014.
Vanessa also reminded her followers that “being in good standing with the Bar does not determine the outcome of the criminal case.”
“And remember, Wendy & Eddie’s insurance fraud case is still pending, with their jury trial currently scheduled for January 25–29, 2027,” she added.

After the information was shared, several users pointed out that Eddie would likely remain in good standing unless he was found guilty at his upcoming insurance fraud trial.
“He wouldn’t be suspended or disbarred before a conviction,” one person wrote.
“Ever heard ‘Innocent until proven guilty?'” asked another. “Let’s see what happens when a verdict is passed.”
“He’s innocent until proven guilty,” agreed a third.
Meanwhile, others suspected Eddie would “definitely lose” his right to practice law once the trial began.
“If this case goes south, he could lose his license even if he doesn’t necessarily go to jail,” a commenter noted.
As RHOP fans will recall, Eddie and Wendy were accused of staging a fake home robbery in April 2024 and collecting on insurance checks.
As they await trial, Eddie announced he’d joined the Baltimore-based firm Garner & Co.
“I’m excited to announce a new venture as a licensed REALTOR!” he shared in a September 1 post. As an attorney, I have always been intrigued by real estate development, investing, and building generational wealth through assets.”
“Whether you are buying or selling your current property, investing in commercial real estate, looking for space to build out a dispensary, or searching for professional property management, I’m your guy. I can also be your closing attorney,” he added.

Following the announcement, Wendy applauded her spouse, saying she was “forever proud” as she encouraged him to “keep going.”
