Fla. Judge Quashes State Subpoena in Foreclosure Probe

A Florida judge dealt a blow Monday to state AG Bill McCollum's investigation of foreclosure law firms by quashing a broad subpoena issued against one of the firms. The judge in a sharply worded order said it's up to the Florida Supreme Court and the Florida Bar to regulate attorneys, not the attorney general. He also called the subpoena of Shapiro & Fishman "overbroad, vague, inconsistent and unduly burdensome" as well as "invasive" and said it was unlikely to reveal "actionable conduct" by the firm.
