The Florida Supreme Court in recent court orders disciplined 32 attorneys — including 10 in Central Florida — disbarring eight, revoking the license of one, suspending 14 and publicly reprimanding nine.
The Central Florida attorneys disciplined included:
- Richard Russell Baker, 1355 Orange Ave., Suite 3, Winter Park, suspended until further order, effective 30 days from an Aug. 28 court order. Baker pleaded guilty in court to tax evasion, a felony offense. He knowingly failed to file his personal income taxes from 2002 to 2008 (Case No. SC14-1681).
- Larry Herbert Colleton, P.O. Box 677459, Orlando, suspended for one year, retroactive to July 29, 2012, following a Sept. 4 court order.

He also failed to communicate with the client (Case No. SC14-439).
- Timothy Daniel, 39 Beechwood Drive, Ormond, disbarred effective immediately, following an Aug. 21 court order. Daniel intentionally misappropriated funds he was holding on behalf of a client. Additionally, Daniel made misrepresentations under oath in connection with the Bar's investigation regarding the client's funds in question (Case No. SC14-602).
- Terry Lee Locy, P.O. Box 1284, Cape Canaveral, disbarred effective immediately, following a Sept. 5 court order. Locy has abandoned his law practice.
