What to Do if a Complaint Has Been Filed?

Drug or alcohol abuse, also called substance abuse, describes anyone who is using substances, including prescription drugs, beyond their expected use or who may have become addicted. In Florida, there are established protocols put in place to address this specific problem. We know what to do in these cases.

We offer legal assistance at all stages in JQC, Florida Bar, and Florida Board of Bar Examiners matters for the following:

Ethical violation allegations, including those related to substance abuse issues
Questions of character and fitness
Defense in state or federal cases where ethical accusations have been made

There is a “right” way to address a matter related to a substance abuse issue. If mishandled, the result can be devastating. The Bar, the JQC and the Board of Bar Examiners take these matters very seriously. You should, too. Let us help you navigate these treacherous waters.
