On Thursday, April 10, 2025, the Florida Supreme Court granted a petition for disciplinary revocation filed by attorney Patricia Anne Bronson, effectively revoking her membership in The Florida Bar. The decision was uncontested and took effect immediately, as outlined in Rule 3-7.12 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. The court noted that disciplinary revocation equates to disbarment, referencing prior cases such as *Florida Bar v. Hale (2000)*.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Patricia Anne Bronson,” with case number SC2025-0085.
Bronson, aged 42, has been a member of The Florida Bar since September 24, 2007. Her petition, filed on January 21, 2025, acknowledged two pending disciplinary investigations. The first stemmed from a June 30, 2022, arrest for driving under the influence. In that criminal case, Bronson pleaded guilty to reckless driving, receiving a withhold of adjudication. The Florida Bar’s investigation into this matter was ongoing at the grievance committee level at the time of her petition.
The second investigation related to a July 22, 2024, guilty plea to one count of possessing contraband in a county detention facility, a third-degree felony. In that case, the trial court withheld adjudication and sentenced Bronson to 18 months of probation with specific conditions. Following this conviction, The Florida Bar filed a notice of guilty judgment, leading to a November 21, 2024, court order suspending Bronson from practicing law, effective 30 days later. Bronson complied with the suspension notification requirements under Rule 3-5.1(h).
Bronson’s disciplinary history includes a 90-day suspension in 2017. That suspension resulted from a guilty plea admitting to an improper business partnership with a non-lawyer, which allowed the non-lawyer to engage in the unlicensed practice of law with Bronson’s knowledge.
In her petition, Bronson agreed to several conditions. She committed to reimbursing The Florida Bar for $1,293.50 in disciplinary case costs, as ordered by the court. Additionally, she agreed to repay the Client Security Fund for any claims arising from her conduct. Bronson also consented to provide a financial affidavit detailing her personal and professional finances if requested by The Florida Bar within 30 days. She further agreed to maintain a current mailing address with The Florida Bar for five years following the revocation and to update the Bar with her physical home or business address if using a post office box.
According to Martindale, Ms. Bronson attended Florida Coastal School of Law, graduating in 2007.
