An Orlando based attorney has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence. The defendant, 64-year old James Gorman Brown, allegedly pulled up to an officer dealing with four teenage suspects. Brown claimed that one of the suspects happened to be his client. He cursed at the officer and disrespectfully argued for the teen's release.
The officer on the scene reported that the attorney smelled of alcohol and exhibited signs of impairment. Brown submitted to field sobriety testing and subsequently arrested for DUI. Officers took the defendant to the Orange County Jail. The four teenage suspects originally stopped by the police were arrested on burglary charges.
Brown was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1970 after graduating from the University of North Carolina Law School. The Florida Bar considers Brown a labor and employment specialist and is currently a partner in an Orlando based law firm. There is no information on how this recent arrest would impact the defendant's standing with the Florida bar.
