Dishonest, Expensive and Detrimental to Cast

I am writing this to document a serious concern regarding attorney Elizabeth Tener of Greenspoon Marder LLP, based on a pattern of conduct that appears inconsistent with the ethical and professional standards expected of members of the Florida Bar. Throughout several documented interactions, there... have been instances suggesting a disregard for professional candor, accuracy, and fair dealing in her role as legal counsel. Specifically, communications and representations made to opposing parties and third parties appear to have included misleading statements, omissions of fact, and directives that could reasonably be construed as encouraging actions not compliant with Florida law or court orders. These incidents have raised legitimate concerns regarding her adherence to Rules 4-8.4 (Misconduct), 4-3.3 (Candor Toward the Tribunal), and 4-1.2(d) (Prohibited Conduct) of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. The conduct in question has had measurable consequences, including unnecessary escalation of conflict, disregard for established legal boundaries, and potential manipulation of judicial or administrative processes. Multiple correspondences demonstrate a consistent pattern where the attorney’s advice or representation appeared to prioritize tactical advantage over lawful and ethical obligation. While advocacy for a client is expected, there are clear limits imposed by professional rules, and those limits exist to preserve public trust in the legal system. These issues are not isolated misunderstandings. The communication record reflects a pattern of counsel advising or endorsing actions that appear contrary to lawful procedure or compliance orders, while simultaneously misrepresenting intentions in written or verbal exchanges. Such conduct is harmful not only to the individuals involved but to the integrity of the profession as a whole. Given the gravity of these concerns, the matter is being prepared for formal reporting to the Florida Bar’s Attorney Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP) and potentially to relevant federal oversight authorities, should the evidence warrant further review. This is not an impulsive or emotional response but a deliberate step to ensure accountability and adherence to the professional standards that all members of the Bar are sworn to uphold. It is deeply disappointing to observe an attorney at a large, well-established law firm engaging in conduct that raises serious questions about ethics and honesty. Clients and the public alike depend on attorneys to uphold the law, not to exploit it. Attorneys have a duty not only to represent their clients but also to serve the cause of justice, maintain integrity in dealings with others, and comply with both the letter and spirit of the rules that govern their profession. If verified by the Bar’s investigation, such conduct should result in appropriate disciplinary action to prevent similar harm to others. The Florida legal system cannot function effectively when officers of the court disregard truth or use their position to facilitate or conceal unlawful actions. This report is made in good faith and based on documented interactions and supporting materials. It serves as notice of intent to submit all available records to the Florida Bar’s disciplinary division for formal review. It also stands as a warning to potential clients and colleagues that ethical practice should never be compromised for expedience, strategy, or convenience. The public deserves attorneys who act with integrity, honesty, and respect for the law. The actions observed here fall short of those standards. A thorough and transparent review by the appropriate authorities is necessary to restore confidence in the principles of justice and accountability that underpin the legal profession in Florida.
