A Miami attorney has been convicted of attempting to extort $25 million from the medical system, marking a significant fall from grace for the legal professional. This conviction comes amid broader disciplinary actions by the Florida Supreme Court, which recently disciplined six attorneys, including revoking the licenses of two, suspending three, and reprimanding one. Additionally, another Miami lawyer has been disbarred after admitting to involvement in a scheme that defrauded clients of approximately $1 million. The recent actions highlight ongoing issues within the legal profession in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, where attorneys have faced disciplinary measures for failing to perform work after receiving payment.

Disbarred: After working at two Big Law firms, one Miami lawyer made “the biggest mistake of my life” and became an escrow agent. He then, by his own admission, played a role in helping rip off clients to the tune of roughly $1 million. https://t.co/mwlk9QqlZu https://t.co/TBxwY3yRQ1
