Days after the Florida Bar asked for the suspension of Coral Gables attorney Scot Strems, the state Supreme Court has obliged, suspending his law license until further notice.
Strems, founder of the Strems Law Firm, is accused of violating 17 ethical rules with what the Florida Bar described as a "vast campaign of unprofessional, unethical and fraudulent conduct that now infects courts and communities across the state."
Strems' firm specializes in insurance and personal injury cases, but the bar has alleged they often follow a pattern of bad faith conduct that ends with sanctions.
