 Locally licensed lawyer

For questions involving state laws, lawyers who are licensed in the same state as the asker are often able to provide more relevant answers than out-of-state lawyers.

For questions involving federal laws (e.g., immigration or patents), this distinction is unimportant.

Answered . Yes….. If…… then what? Is there a question here?

IF your lawyer did this then your lawyer violated virtually every oath that s/he took to become a lawyer and should not be practicing law.

Any lawyer who violated the sanctity of the attorney-client relationship in such a flagrant and unforgivable manner mars the entire legal profession and would almost certainly be disbarred.

IF your question is accurate then that lawyer should be reported to the Florida Bar for discipline.

Following is the website for the Florida Bar and link to assist with the filing of a Bar complaint. Before you do so, however, recognize that your allegations are most serious and, if you cannot prove them, then you are better advised not to make the allegation.

Good luck.

First, second and third: No attorney-client relationship exists by virtue of any Q&A with Michael A. Haber, Esq. on Avvo. Fourth: Anything that you post on Avvo (or on similar sites) or on any social media is by its nature public. It is essentially an admission / confession and can be introduced into evidence as a statement against your interest in a subsequent legal proceeding. Once posted you lose any reasonable expectation of privacy, so, as this is an open forum (with no privilege attached), please be extra careful when considering what to post online (forewarned is forearmed.)
