Expert Florida Bar Defense Attorneys

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.
