On Monday, May 19, 2025, Attorney Carlos L. Santi and The Florida Bar filed a joint petition to place him on the inactive list due to a medical condition affecting his ability to practice law. The petition aims to secure his placement on the inactive list due to incapacity unrelated to any misconduct, pursuant to Rule 3-7.13 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Carlos L. Santi,” with case no. 2025-70,473(11J)(MDS).
The filing indicates that Santi is currently seeking treatment for a medical condition that impairs his capacity to work as an attorney.
Under the terms of the stipulation, Santi acknowledges that reinstatement to active status would require compliance with Rule 3-7.10, including providing written notice from a physician or licensed mental health provider confirming his ability to function professionally without impairment. If reinstated, he may be subject to probation. Santi has agreed to act freely and voluntarily, fully aware of the impact on his ability to practice law, and will remove all indications of his status as an attorney from social media, business cards, stationery, and other materials.
The petition states:
“WHEREFORE, pursuant to Rule 3-7.13 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, petitioner requests to be placed on the inactive list for incapacity not related to misconduct, effective immediately, and continuing thereafter until restatement is granted.”
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Santi is a litigation attorney in Miami, Florida. He attended the Florida State University College of Law, graduating in 2009. He acquired his law license in Florida in the same year.
