Frequently Asked Questions

Who Can Initiate a Bar Complaint?

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.

What should I do if I receive a Florida Bar complaint?

Seek legal representation immediately. Rothman & Associates provides guidance tailored to your specific case.

At What Point Do I Need Experienced Counsel to Represent Me?

Now. Make certain he or she is an experienced Bar Defense Counsel. Not only does a lawyer who represents him or herself have a fool for a client, going forward on your own can cause additional issues by virtue of what you write or say and how you write or say it in response to the Bar Complaint. Hiring an inexperienced Bar Defense Counsel is akin to buying a boat with a hole in it.

What Can Experienced Bar Defense Counsel Do For Me?

“Experience is the Best Teacher.”

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.

Where can Rothman & Associates assist clients?

We assist clients across Florida with matters related to the Florida Bar, regardless of your location.
