Schmoll petitions for readmission

Announcements

Edward Wilson Schmoll of Clearwater was disbarred pursuant to the Supreme Court’s Order of October 13, 2014.

He was suspended indefinitely on January 8, 2014, for failure to comply with an official Bar inquiry stemming from a discovery of insufficient funds in his IOTA trust account. On August 22, 2014, The Florida Bar filed a petition for contempt and order to show cause, after a judge alleged that Schmoll may have been practicing law while suspended. Schmoll was disbarred after he failed to file a response to the Court’s Order to Show Cause.

He has submitted an application for readmission to The Florida Bar. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners will conduct a public hearing on Schmoll’s application for readmission. All members of the Bar are invited to write to the board regarding their knowledge of Schmoll, particularly in relation to his character and fitness for readmission to The Florida Bar. If you wish to be notified of the time and place of the hearing, submit a written request to Michele A. Gavagni, Executive Director at the Florida Board of Bar Examiners, 1891 Eider Court, Tallahassee 32399-1750.
