Fort Myers Attorney Arrested

Patrick Buckley Mug Shot

J. Patrick Buckley III was arrested yesterday for Grand Theft and Fraud charges. The charges likely relate to the trust account issue that led to Buckley’s suspension by the Florida bar a few months ago, initially in January, 2015. There isn’t much available yet on the details of the charge, so I am speculating that they are connected. However, the charges are consistent to the Bar allegations that he misappropriated client funds.
