7. Attorney’s Response: Once the complaint is filed, the Florida Bar will notify the attorney about the complaint. The attorney will be required to respond to the allegations. This response will be part of the investigation process.
8. Investigation and Resolution: The Florida Bar will review your complaint to determine if it falls within their jurisdiction. If it does, they will conduct a thorough investigation, which may involve gathering evidence, reviewing the attorney’s response, and potentially holding a hearing. Depending on the outcome, the attorney may face disciplinary action.
