Florida Bar flops in effort to demonize DeSantis critic as referee recommends lightest possible sanction

The Florida Supreme Court

By Noreen Marcus, FloridaBulldog.org

The Florida Bar was humiliated Tuesday in its politically charged prosecution of an attorney who publicly challenged Gov. Ron DeSantis’s pandemic policy.

The Bar referee handling Daniel Uhlfelder’s disciplinary case recommended the lightest possible punishment for his technical violation of ethics rules: admonishment.

Uhlfelder admitted he didn’t communicate enough with his co-counsels about their participation in an appeal. The referee, Taylor County Circuit Judge Gregory Parker, wrote: “I find that this failure was, at most, negligent.”
