On Thursday, November 10, 2022, the Supreme Court of Florida ordered the revocation of Springfield attorney Mark Edward Kellogg’s membership in The Florida Bar, without leave to seek readmission amid pending disciplinary charges.

The case, titled In Re: Petition for Disciplinary Revocation of Mark Edward Kellogg, was brought by Mark Edward Kellogg under The Florida Bar File No. 2023-00,122(2A) NDR.

The Florida Bar File No. 2023-o0,042(2A) is a pending disciplinary charge against Kellogg relating to his consent to the revocation of his license to practice law in the State of Virginia.

The revocation in Virginia is based upon Kellogg’s admission of misconduct in civil will proceedings.

The Petition for Disciplinary Revocation without Leave to Apply for Readmission states:

“Petitioner knowingly and voluntarily submits this Petition for Disciplinary Revocation Without Leave to Apply for Readmission with full knowledge of its effect.”

The Petition continues:

“Petitioner contends that granting this Petition will not adversely affect the public interest, the integrity of the courts, or the confidence of the public in the legal profession. Further, Petitioner contends that granting this Petition will not hinder the administration of justice.”

The Petition additionally notes:

‘Petitioner agrees to eliminate all indicia of Petitioner’s status as an attorney on email, social media, telephone listings, stationery, checks, business cards office signs, or any other indicia of Petitioner’s status as an attorney, whatsoever.

Petitioner understands that the granting of this petition by the Supreme Court of Florida shall serve to dismiss all pending disciplinary cases.’

Kellogg respectfully requested that the Court grant his Petition and order that his membership in The Florida Bar be revoked without leave to seek readmission.

With the foregoing facts and discussions, the court granted Kellogg’s petition.

The Disposition reads:

“The uncontested petition for disciplinary revocation, . . without leave to seek readmission after five years, is granted, subject to the continuing jurisdiction of this Court, effective immediately. . . Inasmuch as petitioner’s disciplinary revocation petition was submitted without leave to seek readmission,  his revocation is permanent. . .
