This experience serving on a bar committee has allowed him to gain in-depth insight into how bar matters are dealt with and its procedures, which could prove to be indispensable to your case and future of your career.
No One Knows The Florida Bar Like David B. Rothman
Are you an Attorney or Law student under disciplinary review?
Whether you have already been contacted by the FBBE about a Florida Bar Admissions issue or you are concerned about a possible issue, it is critical to seek legal advice now rather than later
Do not fool yourself if you think “they couldn’t possibly find out.”
The FBBE scrupulously reviews each law student’s application of admission to the bar. This includes past indiscretions. What is of particular concern is an applicant’s “character and fitness.”
Omissions on an application will only lead the board to investigate
further. Whether you are facing further inquiry or need assistance with a “gray” area, it is always better to double-check, rather than be scrambling when it may be too late.
Give yourself a fighting chance to achieve your longtime goal of being a lawyer.
Attorney Rothman also has proven his trial skills with the following credentials:
- Board Certified Criminal Trial Advocacy Specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy
- Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer by The Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education
If you are an attorney or law student who is currently under disciplinary review or needs some guidance regarding ethics, speak with our skilled bar defense team as soon as possible. As fellow attorneys ourselves, we know how hard you’ve worked to reach your professional goals and establish yourself as a bar member of good standing.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re facing any allegations or disciplinary actions from the Florida Bar, consult a Florida bar defense attorney to understand your rights and options. An experienced attorney provides the guidance and representation needed to navigate the disciplinary process and protect your career.
The Florida Bar may open an investigation against a Florida lawyer for an alleged violation of a Bar Rule based on information, from any source, including, but not limited to: anonymous complaints, complaints from: the lawyer’s clients or former clients, opposing counsel, judges, witnesses, present or former employees or co-workers of the attorney; appellate decisions or court orders finding the lawyer has acted unethically, and even newspaper articles about unethical conduct by the lawyer.
My firm has successfully handled hundreds of Bar cases, favorably resolving a vast majority without trial, but trying many and handling appeals to the Florida Supreme Court.
Most of our cases have been closed at the first level, the point of Intake (ACAP Level – Tallahassee Office of The Florida Bar). If closed at Intake, that means the case is dismissed, with no further action taken on the Complaint.
We also have been successful in settling cases at the second level, at the local Bar Counsel office (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa or Tallahassee).
The results we have obtained for clients include dismissal, closure by a finding of No Probable Cause, closure by a finding of No Probable Cause with a Letter of Advice and Diversion, none of which constitute “discipline” and therefore it does not appear on their Bar listing. In more serious cases, we have been able to obtain short suspensions which allowed the client to be reinstated the day after the suspension has concluded.
Of course, in the most serious of cases, some clients have been sanctioned with longer suspensions, but far more often than not, we have been able to resolve their case and avoid the loss of their license to practice law.
During the consultation, we review your case, discuss strategies, and outline next steps. This meeting helps us understand your situation and provides you with information to make informed decisions about your case.
