The Florida Supreme Court has disciplined nine South Florida attorneys, including Russell Adler, a former law firm partner of convicted Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. Adler was suspended for 91 days.
Adler, once a partner in the now defunct firm of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler of Fort Lauderdale, was disciplined for misrepresenting his finances and equity status within the firm to a cooperative apartment board. Additionally, none of the settlement statements he prepared over four years contained an attorney’s signature or even space for an attorney to sign.
