On Thursday, August 7, 2025, the Florida Supreme Court sanctioned attorney Tamara Grossman with a 90-day suspension following a conditional guilty plea and consent judgment. The disciplinary action arises from allegations that Grossman engaged in professional misconduct while employed as an associate attorney at Lewert Law, LLC, between April 2021 and May 2023.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Tamara Grossman,” with case number SC2025-1088.
According to court documents, Grossman is accused of representing clients outside of the firm without obtaining consent or informing her employers. Many of these clients were reportedly acquired through an attorney referral service. While no written employment agreement existed, the firm’s employee handbook allegedly prohibited employees from using their position or firm resources for personal gain or to advance personal interests. The firm terminated Grossman’s employment upon discovering her outside work.
Grossman acknowledged engaging with 27 outside matters, many of which were referrals from an attorney referral service. She maintained that she believed her outside work would not be an issue as long as she fulfilled her duties to the firm. The Florida Bar alleged that Grossman’s conduct violated Rules Regulating The Florida Bar 3-4.3 (Misconduct and Minor Misconduct) and 4-8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice).
The Supreme Court’s order mandates a 90-day suspension, effective 30 days from the order’s date, unless Grossman waives this period. During the suspension, Grossman must cease accepting new clients, initiating litigation, and practicing law in Florida. She must also notify all relevant parties of the suspension, including courts, bars, clients, and opposing counsel. Additionally, she must remove all indicia of her status as a Florida Bar member, wind down pending matters, and refrain from handling client funds. Grossman is also required to attend Ethics School and pay associated costs.
The Florida Bar was awarded a judgment of $1,250.00 for costs, which are non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. The court considered mitigating factors such as Grossman’s lack of prior disciplinary record and personal problems, as well as her cooperation and offer to reimburse the firm. Aggravating factors included her substantial experience in law.
According to Avvo, Ms. Grossman is a family lawyer in Coral Springs, Florida. She acquired her law license in Florida in 2012.
