The Florida Supreme Court, in court orders issued from March 30 to May 25, disciplined 20 attorneys – disbarring three, revoking the licenses of seven, suspending six and publicly reprimanding four.
Two are from North Florida:
D. Kenneth Leigh Jr., 414 Old Hard Road, Suite 201, Fleming Island, is publicly reprimanded following a March 30 court order. Leigh opened three law offices in two months in South Florida. When the firm didn’t generate sufficient capital to cover the overhead, Leigh failed to remit payroll taxes to the IRS for the last quarter of 2015. Instead, he commingled the payroll taxes into the firm’s general operating account.
Neil Wayne Platock, 2 Northgate Drive, Ponte Vedra Beach, is publicly reprimanded following a May 10 court order. Platock was found in contempt for failing to comply in a timely manner with the terms of an Aug. 25 court order.
Specifically, Platock was required to notify his clients, opposing counsel and tribunals of his two-year suspension, and provide The Florida Bar within 30 days a sworn affidavit listing the names and addresses of all persons and entities that were furnished a copy of his suspension order.
