Florida Bar Assoc. warns of lawyers soliciting hurricane victims

In the wake of Hurricanes Ian and Nicole, the Florida Bar Association is asking people to report anyone with evidence of professional misconduct or unlawful solicitation by lawyers. We found that the bar launched an investigation into at least one attorney since Ian. According to a Petition for Emergency Suspension filed in the Florida Supreme Court, investigators determined that the attorney set up a mobile claims center for Hurricane Ian victims in a parking lot and people were mistaking it for FEMA's disaster center.
