License Revoked Of Attorney Facing Criminal Charges
The Florida Supreme Court accepted a petition for license revocation without leave to seek readmission of an attorney facing charges of attempted first degree murder and battery.
Laws in Florida reported on the criminal charges
The Complaint Affidavit (Probable Cause Affidavit/Arrest Report) attached as Exhibit “A” reflects that on December 19, 2021 an altercation occurred between the victim (respondent’s live-in girlfriend of 2 ½ years) and the respondent in which he grabbed her by her hair and pushed her into a cement surface several times, striking her head.
The respondent continued to strike her with such force that she was thrown toward a toilet causing it to break.
As a result, the victim lost consciousness. Thereafter, she drove to the hospital to seek medical attention.
On the following day, the victim returned to the residence in which she cohabitated with the respondent to retrieve her cancer related medication believing that the respondent would not be home.
When she saw his car in the driveway, she knocked on the door and asked for her medication.
The respondent then stated,
“I hope you die; I can’t wait for you to die.”
The victim telephoned 911 for assistance as the respondent held a shotgun and yelled,
“Die Bitch, Die Bitch”, “You’re going to fucking die.”
The respondent fired the gun and continued shooting as the victim ran away.
The victim was struck in her back and head.
The victim had multiple contusions and lacerations on her body from the assault from the day before.
She had two pellets from the shotgun round embedded in her skin, swelling and bruising to her left upper cheek near her eye and markings on the back of her head, neck and back consistent with being struck by pellets from the shotgun.
Soon after the incident, the respondent was arrested after having fled the scene.
The respondent has been incarcerated since the date of his arrest and is being held on a “no bond” status.
An interim suspension had previously been ordered. (Mike Frisch)
