Representation of Florida Bar Applicants
As if there is not already enough stress with being a law student, you now have to deal with possible bar administration issues. While obtaining your Juris Doctor degree is quite an accomplishment, this is merely the first step toward admission to The Florida Bar. Many law students are unaware that if the Florida Board of Bar Examiners (FBBE) believes that you have issues of commission, drug or alcohol issues, or issues of omission relating to any required information on your bar application for admission, you will be subject to a character and fitness investigation.
In order to avoid any complications in the application process, it is best to seek out legal advice from the beginning. Our lawyers have extensive experience and knowledge when it comes to Florida Bar defense matters and are here to help you to successfully navigate through the process.
