The Florida Bar v. Joyce Sibson Dove

SC05-302 | SC05-1157

The Florida Bar filed ethics charges against Ms. Dove related to her handling of an adoption. The judge assigned to hear the case as a referee found her guilty and recommended a public reprimand, two years probation, and forfeiture of fees. The Bar argues the discipline should be a year's suspension. Ms. Dove argues that no discipline more severe than a reprimand is warranted, that she should not have to pay some of the Bar's costs, and that she should not have to forfeit the fees.
