Supreme Court of Florida

Upon review of a referee's report regarding alleged ethical breaches by an attorney arising from his representation of plaintiffs in a civil case after a judgment in his clients' favor had been entered, the court approves a recommendation that the attorney be suspended for ninety-one days, but disapproves recommendations that be ordered to reimburse a party for attorney's fees and costs incurred as a result of the misconduct, and that he have his practice evaluated by the Florida Bar's Law Office Management Assistance Service.
