Attorney Robert Darnell of Sarasota, FL; ethical dwarf

The state of Florida presented Robert William Darnell with a law license in 1986 after he graduated from Stetson University Law School. 

The Florida State Bar found Bobby guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, Bobby practiced law with three other attorneys and each maintained an operating and trust account. When the company dissolved, it was discovered Bobby failed to deposit overhead checks into the operating account and owed 10 months of overhead payments.

A State Bar audit found Bobby failed to withdraw his earned fees from the trust account. He also made payments for firm and personal expenses directly from his trust account.

Subsequently, Bobby had to amend several federal tax returns.

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Florida Supreme Court punished Bobby by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. May 2016), Bobby practices with The Darnell Law Group at 2639 Fruitville Road in Sarasota, Florida.
