  3. Florida Bar v. Laing

    695 So. 2d 299 (Fla. 1997)   Cited 6 times
    Suspending attorney for ninety-one days for conduct similar to Brown's and some conduct even more egregious, with two prior disciplinary sanctions

    (Laing's prior proceedings involved eleven violations, resulting in a sixty-day suspension, and two violations, resulting in a private reprimand.) Cf. Florida Bar v. Inglis, 660 So.2d 697 (Fla. 1995) (disbarment appropriate for multiple violations of varied nature); Florida Bar v. Williams, 604 So.2d 447 (Fla. 1992) (same); Florida Bar v. Mavrides, 442 So.2d 220 (Fla. 1983) (same). Robert Scott Laing is hereby suspended for ninety-one days from the practice of law in Florida.

  4. Florida Bar v. Williams

    604 So. 2d 447 (Fla. 1992)   Cited 7 times

    In addition, the referee recommended that the respondent be on probation for a period of two years. The Florida Bar seeks disbarment on the authority of The Florida Bar v. Mavrides, 442 So.2d 220 (Fla. 1983), where we found that the cumulative effect of an attorney's misconduct demonstrated an unfitness to practice law, and thus warranted disbarment. We agree with The Florida Bar that the respondent's misconduct warrants a tougher discipline than the referee's recommended ninety-day suspension.

  5. The Florida Bar v. MacPherson

    534 So. 2d 1156 (Fla. 1988)

    Most importantly, the referee found that MacPherson acted without any dishonest or selfish motives. This recommendation and finding of mitigating circumstances distinguishes this cause from The Florida Bar v. Mavrides, 442 So.2d 220 (Fla. 1983), and The Florida Bar v. Montgomery, 412 So.2d 346 (Fla. 1982). We find the referee's recommendation is reasonable under these circumstances.
