Questions presented

  1. Whether a conflict of interest exists for an attorney who gave advice to one client and then represented another client on the same matter, and whether the entire law firm should be excluded from representing either client in the matter presented, especially when the conflicted attorney is a named partner of the firm.

  2. Whether the appellate court erred when it tacitly reversed the trial court in a sham Per Curiam Affirmed and then engaged in impermissible fact finding on a matter not ruled upon by the trial court.

  3. Whether denying Petitioner the right to address grievances before the Florida Supreme Court by entering a Per Curiam Affirmed without citing to a case violates Petitioner’s rights to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
