"Steven Amster took a $5,000 flat fee for a criminal case but later demanded an additional $50,000 for probation work, violating Florida Bar rules."
"Ruzy Behnejad received $128,597 from a settlement but departed the country without communicating payment delays to his client or service providers."
Three attorneys from Miami-Dade, all based in Coral Gables, faced discipline from the Florida Bar. Steven Amster violated rules by charging a $5,000 fee without a written agreement and later demanded an additional $50,000. Ruzy Behnejad received a significant settlement amount but failed to communicate delays in payments to his client and service providers while leaving the country. Amster faces penalties including a $10,000 restitution and ethics school, and Behnejad’s history is noted as previously disciplinary-free.
