Pursuant to Rule 3-7.10, Charles Paul-Thomas Phoenix has petitioned the Supreme Court for Bar reinstatement.

Phoenix was suspended two years effective 30 days from a January 28, 2021, court order in connection with his representation as general counsel of a vacation rental management company that was operating as a Ponzi scheme. Phoenix signed a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office agreeing to cooperate in the prosecution of the company’s executives in exchange for not being prosecuted himself. In the agreement, Phoenix admitted to certain conduct that constituted rule violations, including making false statements and failing to timely withdraw from his representation of the company despite his knowledge of its illegal activity.

Any persons having knowledge bearing upon Phoenix’s fitness or qualifications to resume the practice of law should contact Kimberly Walbolt, Bar Counsel at kwalbolt@floridabar.org.
