The Florida Supreme Court in recent court orders disciplined 18 attorneys, disbarring three, revoking the license of one, suspending 11, and reprimanding three.

Corey Matthew Ackerman, 2861 Long Meadow Dr., Wellington, public reprimand effective immediately following a May 29 court order. (Admitted to Practice: 2008) Ackerman was previously given diversion based upon an arrest for drug possession. The charges were dropped but diversion to FLA, Inc., was offered and accepted. Ackerman was out of the country for significant periods of time that made compliance with FLA, Inc., unacceptable. For that violation, discipline in the form of a public reprimand was offered and accepted. (Case No. SC2024-1760)

Steven Edward Amster, 4000 Ponce De Leon Blvd., Suite 470, Coral Gables, public reprimand effective immediately following a June 5 court order. (Admitted to Practice: 1994) After receiving fees to represent a client in additional legal matters, Amster failed to memorialize in writing to the client that the payment was a non-refundable flat fee. (Case No. SC2024-1362)
