Florida Bar v. Norkin

We have for review a referee’s report recommending that Respondent Jeffrey Alan Norkin be found guilty of professional misconduct. The referee recommended a sanction of a ninety-day suspension, followed by an eighteen-month period of probation. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 15, Fla. Const. We approve the referee’s findings of fact and recommendations of guilt. We disapprove the referee’s recommended sanction of a ninety-day suspension and, instead, impose a two-year suspension. Further, Respondent shall re*79ceive a public reprimand that will be administered before the Court.
