Miami-Dade County

This Court found Mr. Marrero guilty of violations of the rules regulating Florida lawyers, including three violations involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation and one involving misuse of money held in trust for a client. The case was sent back to the trial judge appointed to act as referee to recommend an appropriate sanction. The Florida Bar argued the sanction should be disbarment. Mr. Marrero argued it should be a public reprimand or a 90-day suspension. The referee has recommended that this Court suspend Mr. Marrero from the practice of law for 90 days and place him on probation for the next three years.
