The researcher sampled 1,111 disciplinary sanctions of the Florida Bar from February 2016 to October 2021. Of this total, 570 were selected and analyzed for criteria and were then categorized into into 5 categories; miscommunication with parties, financial mismanagement, confidentiality, advertising, and sexual misconduct. Miscommunication with parties and financial mismanagement made up 91.5% of all sanctions ordered, with the most being suspension sanctions. The researcher included recommendations to help attorneys in Florida avoid communication mistakes and limitations of the study with the hopes of lessening the amount of sanctions in the coming years.en-USLawLegal studiesCommunicationCapstone Project
