Contact the State Commission on Ethics, which deals with complaints about misconduct by elected officials. The Florida Bar does not have jurisdiction to discipline lawyers who occupy constitutionally created positions including judges. The Commission on Ethics may be contacted at (850)488-7864 or by mail at Post Office Drawer 15709, Tallahassee, Florida 32317-5709.
