Attorney Charles Hobbs II of Tallahassee; repeat offender

 
The state of Florida presented Charles Edward Hobbs II with a law license in 2000 after he graduated from the University of Florida Law College.
 
The Florida Bar found Frank guilty of the following misconduct.
 
Charles’ 1st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree – 2007

 
Charles was hired by Carmelisa Cummings to represent her in a personal injury claim. Though, Charles obtained a settlement of $50,000 for Ms. Cummings, she filed an ethics complaint against him when she was advised that a higher settlement could have been accomplished. Charles failed to provide Ms. Cummings with a written Contingency Fee Agreement or a State of Client’s Rights for Contingency Fees as required by State Bar Rules.
 
Charles admitted he failed to (a) act with due diligence, (b) failed to inform client of status of representation, and (c) failed to explain matters to client.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Florida Supreme Court punished Charles by gifting him with a complimentary admonishment.
 
Charles’ 2nd bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree - 2009

  1. Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
  2. Failed to provide competent representation (moron)
  3. Failed to expedite litigation
Charles’ misconduct involved 16 separate cases, which resulted in a court order stating, “Upon review of the above cases, the court notes that Charles Hobbs, II, has not responded adequately, if at all to court orders. In other cases, appeals have been dismissed as a result of his failure to respond to court orders. Such inaction severely prejudices the criminal defendants and is a mark of unprofessionalism.”
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Florida Supreme Court punished Charles by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
 
Charles’ 3rd bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree - 2010
 
In one matter, Wendy Walker and her sister, Stacey Cleveland, hired Charles to represent Ms. Walker's son, Dominique Hoosier, on a criminal charge.
 
Subsequently, Mr. Hoosier pled no contest and was sentenced to prison. After sentencing, Ms. Walker and Ms. Cleveland paid Charles an additional $3,000 to seek post conviction relief on Hoosier’s behalf.
 
Charles left the two ladies with the impression that he was going to file an appeal; however, since Hoosier plead no contest, his right to appeal was forfeited, a fact that Charles failed to relay to the two ladies.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Florida Supreme Court punished Charles by gifting him with a second complimentary reprimand.
 
As we speak (ca. March 2013) Charles practices at 602 North Adams Street in Tallahassee, Florida.
