The Tampa attorney facing criminal charges after firing gunshots in a domestic dispute will likely face disciplinary action from the Florida bar if convicted.

James Lewis Wilkes II, 72, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, and misdemeanor battery last month.

“He will definitely face disciplinary actions from the Florida bar, which could result in various disciplinary sanctions, which could include suspension or possible disbarment,” said James Phillips, a Lake Mary firearm attorney and partner of Katz & Phillips law firm. “The other states in which Mr. Wilkes is licensed to practice law could also seek disciplinary actions against him.”
