It is hard enough under the best of circumstances to beat the insurance company lobbyists and attorneys who bring all kinds of arguments and propaganda to the halls of legislatures and in courts to judges.But it is worse when policyholder attorneys systemically act in an unethical manner and create facts to back up those otherwise frivolous arguments.Scot Strems and others in his firm have apparently acted in such an unethical systemic manner that the Florida Supreme Court is closing the practice on an emergency basis to protect the public.
The Petition of the Florida Bar should be read by those in the property insurance claims business.It is extraordinary for several reasons, not the least being affidavits by judges indicating Strems and other lawyers appear to be “gaming” insurance litigation.It is shameful because such conduct hurts everybody—insurers and policyholders.
