The referee in this case concluded that Mr. Tobkin violated regulations governing
members of The Florida Bar and recommended that he be disciplined by a 10-day
suspension from the practice of law and be required to attend The Florida Bar's Ethics
Workshop. Mr. Tobkin appeals that conclusion and recommendation, arguing The Bar
did not prove its allegations of misconduct by clear and convincing evidence. The Bar
defends its case and supports the referee's findings and recommendation.
