A Wesley Chapel lawyer has been disbarred after the state's high court agreed that she improperly withdrew more than $100,000 from an account belonging to her mentally impaired brother.
Denise Letizia, 53, declined to comment today, citing pending civil litigation in Hillsborough County Circuit Court involving similar allegations. Her attorney in that case, Kendall Almerico, couldn't be reached for comment.
The Florida Supreme Court ordered Letizia disbarred in August and denied her request for a rehearing in an order dated Oct. 24. She also was ordered to pay $5,694.28 to the Florida Bar for legal costs.
The high court affirmed the report of a referee who found that Letizia violated Bar rules governing attorney competence and integrity. The core allegation was that she signed an affidavit she knew to be false in order to withdraw the money in her brother's account.
