Navigation October 1, 2020 Disciplinary Actions
The Florida Supreme Court in recent court orders disciplined 11 attorneys, disbarring one, revoking the license of one, suspending eight, and reprimanding one. One attorney was also placed on probation and ordered to pay restitution. Attorneys suspended for periods of 91 days and longer must undergo a rigorous process to regain their law licenses including proving rehabilitation. Disciplinary revocation is tantamount to disbarment.
