Rendi’s comment:
“I take full responsibility for the actions of my law firm as a whole. One of my associate attorneys that handled immigration cases had departed from my firm and moved to Utah. I was left with her case load. In the case at issue, the process of gaining legal immigration status for the client took much more time than the client anticipated. The client was not satisfied. She still gained her legal immigration status. I also refunded her entire fee that was paid to the law firm.”
Admonishment issued in FL, 2008
updated on 02/19/2016An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Rendi’s comment:
“My secretary wrote a $65 check to a court reporter for deposition fees. That placed my trust account into a negative $20 balance. This is a violation of the Florida Bar's Rules.”
