The Florida Bar said in a release: The disbarment of Jessica Kathleen Miller, a lawyer in Holiday, followed an arrest in August 2007 for contempt of court for violating an order to appear.
She already had violated prior orders to appear on behalf of clients in a guardianship proceeding.
Miller also failed to account for and deliver client trust funds and after being hired to represent several clients, she did not and neglected to return their fees, the release said.

I do not remember this case in 2007. But, it's always refreshing to see a lawyer get any discipline at all!
