Navigation ‘The court’s scrutiny of unprofessional conduct gets greater and greater every year’
The Florida Bar receives about 8,500 complaints against lawyers every year, with some 350 of those leading to some form of disciplinary action.
The good news is that the figures confirm that most lawyers uphold the high standards the profession demands, says Patricia Ann Toro Savitz, staff counsel to The Florida Bar’s Division of Lawyer Regulation.
“The large majority of all of us are doing excellent work,” she said. “There’s a very small amount of public discipline.”
