Florida Supreme Court Permanently Disbars Miami Attorney Bruce Jacobs for Professional Misconduct

In a significant decision, the Florida Supreme Court has permanently disbarred Bruce Jacobs, a Miami-based foreclosure defense attorney. The Court escalated the disciplinary action beyond the recommendation of Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Betsy Alvarez-Zane, who outlined instances of severe professional misconduct in her report. These included filing frivolous pleadings, lacking candor, and impugning judicial integrity without factual basis. As part of the ruling, Jacobs is required to reimburse the Florida Bar for costs exceeding $25,000.
