Ex-Florida Bar president accuses Bar of ‘cheating’ in ethics trial to punish DeSantis critic Uhlfelder
By Noreen Marcus, FloridaBulldog.org
A former Florida Bar president has accused the Bar of “cheating” in a politically noxious lawyer grievance case that has baffled and disturbed a federal judge, a former justice and a bunch of old-pro attorneys.
Jacksonville criminal defense lawyer Henry “Hank” Coxe, an ex-Bar president who recently joined Daniel Uhlfelder’s defense team, argued that his ethics case should be dismissed because of the Bar’s own misconduct. Uhlfelder’s 2020 lawsuit questioning Gov. Ron DeSantis’s pandemic policy ignited the grievance that’s still grinding along with no apparent end in sight.
Taylor County Circuit Judge Gregory Parker, the ethics case referee, seemed overwhelmed at a Zoom hearing last Friday where Coxe represented Uhlfelder. Parker expressed gratitude when lawyers offered to help him sort out the remaining issues.
