The Florida Bar spent nearly half its annual budget — about $10 million – investigating grievances against about 7,800 attorneys from September 2007 to August 2008, according to the Orlando Sentinel. A large majority of the complaints (about 80 percent) were dismissed because the Bar determined there was no ethics violation or not enough evidence.

Our Orlando personal injury firm goes to great lengths to protect the interests of our clients who have already suffered from the negligence of others. The same professional integrity is true of the many law firms who refer personal injury cases to us.

There is a delicate balance between protecting the interests of clients and ensuring due process for lawyers accused of wrongdoing. The Florida Bar achieves this balance better than almost any other organization of its kind and is recognized nationally for its disciplinary program and client compensation fund.
