An attorney is being suspended after the Florida Supreme Court found him dishonest about sending coaching text messages to a client in a deposition.
The referee in the ethics case found attorney Derek Vashon James guilty of dishonesty, refusal to acknowledge the wrongful nature of the conduct and disobeying the law. The referee therefore recommended a 30-day suspension and an order requiring James to pay the Florida Bar’s costs in the ethics case.
