Florida lawyer who deserted client gave Florida Bar an Irish pub as his address

Miami lawyer Daryl Bobby Fenton aka Daryl Fenton aka Bobby Fenton disappeared, at least professionally, and the Florida Bar investigators found cold trails when they looked for Fenton.

Fenton, who hadn’t shown up for a client’s criminal court hearing, had been evicted from his apartment in a luxury high rise popular with Instagram influencers. Also, when investigators went to Fenton’s Florida Bar address of record, they found a downtown Miami Irish pub.

A Miami Herald call to his business number found that line disconnected.

Fenton’s been disbarred by the state Supreme Court, an action that will go into effect Saturday. He’d been a member of the Florida Bar since April 4, 2020, and managed to get himself into trouble even before he went ghost professionally.

I'd check to see if he's now working for the Trump administration. Bobby Fenton, come on down!

a job description in this day and age, tells us how far standards have fallen. "Social media" is a disease. Just my opinion, of course.
