The Florida Supreme Court in recent court orders disciplined five attorneys, disbarring one, suspending two, and reprimanding two.

Denise A. Gunn, 2800 Davis Blvd., Suite 206, Naples, disbarred effective immediately following a May 23 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1997) Gunn failed to completely and diligently represent two clients in separate family law matters, resulting in both cases languishing unnecessarily without resolution. Gunn also failed to participate in the disciplinary proceeding and failed to respond to the Bar’s inquiries. (Case No. SC23-1428)

Scott Tully Kalisch, 435 S. Oregon Ave., Apt. 104, Tampa, suspended for 60 days and ordered to attend The Florida Bar’s Ethics School, effective 30 days following a May 2 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1983) On May 10, 2023, Kalisch was suspended for 60 days from practice and ordered to complete pro bono service by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in a reciprocal discipline case. In that case, Kalisch was defense counsel for a criminal defendant who was charged with crimes related to international human smuggling. In November 2020, Kalisch disclosed four items of discovery to a third party that were under a protective order entered on October 8, 2020. (Case No. SC23-1283)
