The Supreme Court of Florida has suspended Fort Myers lawyer J. Patrick Buckley from the practice of law after a Florida Bar auditor supplied evidence that Buckley had actually misappropriated clients' funds. According to Florida Bar files, Buckley's difficulties began last summer when $286,093.98 was moved to a trust account. Attorneys hold trust fund cash in connection with their representation of a customer, the Florida Bar guidelines state. It's not cash to be utilized by the attorney for any of his expenditures. In this case the money was from the sale of a house in a divorce case.
