A longtime Santa Rosa Beach attorney nicknamed "Grim Reaper" for dressing up as that dark specter to criticize Gov. Ron DeSantis’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic has lawyered up in response to a state appeal court's request that The Florida Bar consider sanctions.
The Florida Bar has filed its fourth complaint against Miami-Dade County attorney Scot Strems, alleging that Strems and the Strems Law Firm (SLF) engaged in a pattern of duplicitous behavior and subterfuge to enroll property owners into legal services.
A court referee’s recent conclusion that Florida plaintiffs’ attorney Scot Strems should be suspended for two years sends a forceful warning to other lawyers pursuing lawsuits-for-profit strategies, according to the Florida-based Consumer Protection Coalition.
Suspended Cora Gables attorney Scot Strems - whose former firm was the state's most prolific filer of storm damage lawsuits against insurers - is currently defending himself from disbarment on charges brought by the Florida Bar, and a new charge that he's in contempt of a state Supreme Court suspension order.
The Florida Supreme Court this week approved an emergency suspension order sought by the Florida Bar against Coral Gables attorney Scot Strems, whose firm has filed thousands of first-party property claims against insurers.
