Supreme Court disciplines nine Florida lawyers

Historic City News received the following summary of disciplinary orders issued against members of The Florida Bar between September 18, 2025, to November 25, 2025.  The Florida Supreme Court in recent court disciplined nine attorneys, suspending eight, and reprimanding one.  Court orders are not final until time expires to file a rehearing motion and, if filed, determined. The filing of such a motion does not alter the effective date of the discipline. Disbarred lawyers may not re-apply for admission for five years. They are required to go through an extensive process that includes a rigorous background check and retaking the Bar exam.

It’s still a little early, but St Augustine’s mayor, Nancy Sikes-Kline, can’t wait to inform Historic City News that she has selected two honorees to share the stage and commence the official beginning of 2025 Nights of Lights.  The annual event was welcomed in 2003 when the mayor themselves made the ceremonial gesture of “flipping the switch” to turn on the Plaza Christmas tree lights.
