The Florida Supreme Court has sided with court-appointed referee Hillsborough Circuit Judge Martha J. Cook, who recommended that St. Petersburg foreclosure defense attorney Kelley Andrea Bosecker lose her license to practice law after she was found guilty of violating the terms of a previous disciplinary order.

Cook found Bosecker guilty of violating four bar rules, which govern suspension, notice to clients, notice of employment required and conduct involving dishonesty, deceit, fraud or misrepresentation. The court ultimately sided with the Florida Bar, which claimed that Bosecker “failed to timely notify opposing counsel, the courts and her clients that she was suspended, and she was practicing law while suspended.”
