Attorney Richard Bassett of Boca Raton; unethical bully

 
The state of Florida provided Richard W. Bassett with a law license in 2001 after he graduated from St. Thomas University Law School.
 
The Florida State Bar found Richard guilty of misconduct on at least two separate occasions as set forth below.
  1. Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
  2. Threatened criminal charges to gain advantage in civil case
  3. Engaged in conduct contrary to honesty and justice
  4. Knowingly assisted or induced another to violate Rules of Profession Conduct
In one matter Richard represented the defendants in the case of Thomas v. Madden in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County. During his representation of the defendants, Richard sent a letter to the plaintiffs which stated in part “there is a cloud of suspicion over both you and your husband, Mike, regarding your potential involvement in the alleged embezzlement.”
 
At the time the plaintiffs were not represented by an attorney. The letter went on to state that “should this case move forward, we will contact the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office and the IRS once your depositions are scheduled in this matter so that they may ask questions of you as well.”
 
Because Attorney Misfits in Florida are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else, Richard we never criminally charged or prosecuted for extortion.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Florida Supreme Court punished Richard by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
 
As we speak (ca. November 2012) Richard practices with Shapiro Fishman & Gache LLP at 2424 North Federal Highway in Boca Raton, Florida.
