The document states that:
"The Supreme Court of Florida has exclusive jurisdiction over the discipline of persons admitted to the practice of law in Florida. FL Rule 3-3.1; Pantori v. Stephenson, 384 So. 2d 1357 (Fla. 1980). Its jurisdiction is administered through the Board of Governors, grievance committees, and referees, who are granted such jurisdiction and powers necessary to conduct the proper and speedy disposition of any investigation or cause, subject to the supervision and review of the Supreme Court. The power to render an ultimate judgment in disciplinary proceedings always rests with the Supreme Court; the judgment of the Board of Governors is treated simply as a recommendation. Florida Bar v. Abramson, 199 So. 2d 457 (Fla. 1967).
Trial and appellate courts may exercise their supervisory powers by referring attorneys to The Florida Bar for disciplinary investigation. State v. Murray, 443 So. 2d 955, 956 (Fla. 1984). But see Johnnides v. Amoco Oil Co., 778 So. 2d 443, 444 n.2 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001) in which a very frustrated Judge Schwartz expressed his utter lack of confidence in the effectiveness of referring lawyers to The Florida Bar:"
So in short, File a complaint with the bar association.
