There are so many things that bother me in this article, but one of the things that really sticks out is this...
When Jose was denied admission to the FL bar he decides to start two nonprofits to show the bar what a fine and upstanding citizen he is. As the article linked below states...
"An applicant denied admission to the Bar can reapply after two years or other such period set by the Bar examiners."
"The court requires them to produce "clear and convincing evidence of rehabilitation," such as strict compliance with judicial or administrative orders,
assurances to "conduct one's self in an exemplary manner" and demonstrations of excellent character, good reputation for professional ability and "positive action" in their occupation, religion or community or civic service."
The first nonprofit Jose initiated was the
Miami Domestic Violence Project, started in 2001, this group dissolved in two years. I wonder how many domestic violence victims it served ?
Jose's second attempt to regain favor with the bar was another non profit (started in 2004) called
"Miracles For Chidren"...it continued until Sept. 16, 2005.
Curious that he had a nonprofit for children when two of his murder clients, one already convicted and sentenced, the other awaiting trial, are accused of murdering very young children.
On Sept 22, 2005 Jose was admitted to practice law in the state of Florida. This came only one week after his "Miracles For Children" nonprofit was discontinued.

It is clear to me that Jose used these nonprofits only to gain favor for admittance in to the Florida bar, as both of them were dissolved after a year, one of them lasted a whole two years. I would be interested to know how many people these nonprofits served and what Jose's role was in their operation.
I would also like to know about the impact on the people these nonprofits served when the groups were discontinued (that is assuming there were people who were served by these groups).
