Florida Bar Moves to Suspend Lawyer Facing 31 Complaints. But No One Can Find Him.
José Angel Toledo is the subject of 31 disciplinary complaints filed with the Florida Bar by his clients and a medical provider, according to a petition the Bar filed with the Florida Supreme Court.
“The complaints against José Toledo say he stopped responding to client inquiries and failed to distribute funds in legal settlements,” according to the Tampa Bay Times. “The complaints echo one another, with some clients saying they never received money from settlements and others saying they had trouble getting in touch with him.”
Investigators have been unable to find him, too. His landlord evicted him from his office in September, and a Bar investigator entered the office and found nine filing cabinets and six credenzas filled with clients’ files.
