An Error Has Been Made In Your Favor
The Florida Supreme Court has sanctioned a number of attorneys including one who cashed an echeck sent in error
Marcy Elizabeth Abitz, 322 N.W. 103rd Terrace, Pembroke Pines, disbarred effective immediately, following a May 25 court order. (Admitted to practice: 2002) Further, Abitz shall pay restitution of $375 per month for 24 months to Cypress Insurance Group. An echeck from the insurance company for nearly $9,000 was mistakenly mailed to Abitz. She deposited the funds and disbursed most of the money within days of receipt. Upon receiving an initial email from Cypress about the error, Abitz said she would investigate the matter. Thereafter, Abitz ignored all requests to communicate with the insurance group.
