Florida Bar Hearing Attorney Tip of the Month

– December’s Tip

When appearing before the Florida Board of Bar Examiners for an investigative hearing remember that the burden is on you to prove you have the requisite good character and fitness to be admitted to the Florida Bar. This isn’t criminal court where you can say nothing and present no evidence and the State has to make their case. Be proactive and communicate with the Panel members:

1) what mistakes you’ve made,

2) what you have learned from your mistakes, and

3) what assurances you can offer the Panel that the mistakes will not be repeated.
