With the arrival of hurricane season, The Florida Bar is providing consumer resources, educating the public, preparing to assist Bar members, and has reactivated its Disciplinary Hotline to address resident concerns over possible professional misconduct and unlawful solicitation by lawyers in any storms’ aftermath.

Floridians who encounter such issues may report them by calling the hotline at 833-979-8225.

“As the official arm of the Florida Supreme Court, we take very seriously our responsibility to ensure that our members are operating within the guidelines put forth by our disciplinary system,” said Scott Westheimer, Florida Bar President. “We are committed to protecting the Florida public, especially in times of stress or crisis, and enforcing our rules to ensure that  citizens are not being taken advantage of during a vulnerable time.”
