Money a client hands a lawyer to pass to a bankruptcy trustee is not discretionary cash. According to The Florida Bar News’s April 1, 2025 report, the Supreme Court of Florida granted Charles Wade Price’s petition for disciplinary revocation with leave to apply for readmission after five years, effective immediately following a March 13, 2025 order in Case No. SC25-0126 [1].

Status: Disciplinary revocation with leave to apply after five years (Bar News notes disciplinary revocation is tantamount to disbarment), effective March 13, 2025. He was also suspended from practicing before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida [1].
