The Florida Bar v. Michael Eugene Wynn – Corrected Opinion

Summary

The court rejected the referee’s recommended ninety-day suspension and imposed a one-year suspension followed by two years of probation. It concluded that the shorter suspension lacked a reasonable basis in existing disciplinary precedent because Wynn converted client funds and conditioned repayment on withdrawal of a Bar grievance. The court also ordered Wynn to pay the Bar’s costs and imposed immediate practice restrictions pending suspension.
