4/7/16 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: The Florida Bar v. Harley Kane, SC13-389

In this attorney disciplinary case, a judge serving as a referee concluded that Mr. Kane was guilty of several violations of the ethical standards for lawyers, including deceiving clients in insurance cases so as to enrich himself with the bulk of the settlement, deceiving co-counsel in an effort to keep from paying their fees and trying to deceive bankruptcy courts in an effort to avoid paying the other lawyers, who had successfully sued Mr. Kane for their fees. The judge-referee recommends that this Court disbar Mr. Kane. The Florida Bar supports that recommendation. Mr. Kane argues that the Bar acted improperly in investigating his conduct and that the ethical complaint against him should be dismissed.
