Florida state permits lawyers to do business using a fictitious law firm name with disclosures required under Bankruptcy Rule 2014. Because the retained lawyers did not disclose the details of their relationship under the rule, newly appointed Bankruptcy Judge John T. Dorsey sanctioned them $55,000.

In two opinions, Judge Dorsey let the lawyers off the hook for more severe sanctions because they were not bankruptcy lawyers and thus were “not accustomed to the stringent disclosure requirements mandated by the Bankruptcy Rules.”

An attorney who (allegedly) repeatedly made unsubstantiated allegations that a federal Tennessee bankruptcy judge communicated outside her courtroom with lawyers about pending cases was slapped Tuesday with a two-year suspension in the Eastern District of Tennessee, reported by Law360.

U.S. District Judge Pamela Reeves suspended the Tennessee attorney after finding that he violated the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Eastern District of Tennessee’s Local Rules for his conduct in relation to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Suzanne Bauknight and Tennessee case number 20-mc-00720.

UPDATE: The attorney involved in this case contacted our office to request the removal of his name. Pursuant to his request, we have removed his name. He also wished to state that he was appealing the court’s decision.
