On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, the Supreme Court of Florida issued an order suspending attorney Kevin T. Vagovic from practicing law after finding him in contempt. The decision stems from Vagovic’s failure to respond to official inquiries from The Florida Bar, as outlined in a petition filed by the Bar on April 3, 2025.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Kevin T. Vagovic,” with case no. SC2025-0469.
The Florida Bar’s petition accused Vagovic of non-compliance with a grievance committee’s request for information. Despite being served with an order to show cause, Vagovic did not respond, prompting the court to grant the Bar’s petition. The court’s ruling imposes a suspension effective 30 days from the order’s date, allowing Vagovic time to wind down his practice and protect his clients’ interests. If Vagovic informs the court that he is no longer practicing and does not require the 30 days, the suspension will take effect immediately.
Under the terms of the suspension, Vagovic is barred from accepting new clients from the date of the order and must remain suspended until he fully responds in writing to the Bar’s inquiries and receives further court approval for reinstatement. Additionally, he is required to comply with rules governing suspended attorneys, including notifying clients and adhering to professional conduct standards. The court also ordered Vagovic to pay $1,250 in administrative costs to The Florida Bar.
The Disposition states:
“IT IS ORDERED that The Florida Bar’s petition is granted, and Respondent is held in contempt of this Court. As a sanction, Respondent is suspended from the practice of law effective 30 days from the date of this order so that Respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients.”
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Vagovic is a litigation attorney in Daytona Beach, Florida. He attended the Florida Coastal School of Law, graduating in 2012. He acquired his law license in Florida in 2014.
