The Florida Bar, Complainant v. Erwin Rosenberg, Respondent

Summary

The Court approved the referee's summary judgment ruling, factual findings, and determinations that Rosenberg violated three professional-conduct rules by repeatedly failing to comply with discovery obligations and court orders. Although it agreed that suspension was warranted, the Court disapproved the recommended ninety-one-day suspension and imposed a one-year suspension because of Rosenberg's repeated bad-faith conduct, aggravating factors, and failure to accept responsibility. The suspension was conditioned on compliance with the Report of Referee and related requirements.
