A Miami Beach lawyer has been disbarred after taking a $10,000 retainer for a pending criminal appeal but failing to take any action on the client’s behalf, while a Pembroke Pines attorney was disbarred after engaging in multiple offenses of misconduct.
The Florida Supreme Court told Mark David Swanson to make $10,000 restitution to his client in its disbarment order. In another case, the court said Swanson never responded to a request to release guardianship funds for a minor who had become of age.
