FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #28

[apeXperience]

How relevant is Texas State Bar Admission Reciprocity for sleuthing potential culpability in the murder of Dan Markel?

• Texas Board of Law Examiners allows anyone admitted member of Florida Bar such as Wendi Adelson to practice law in Texas
• To practice law in Florida one has to pass the Florida Bar Exams (see picture attached)

How relevant is Wendi Adelson’s competency to practice law for advancing More Justice for Dan Markel?

• Wendi Adelson passed the Florida Bar Exams, which are reputed to be most challenging in the United States
• Are exams for admission to the roll of Barristers and Solicitors of other countries more challenging than the multi-jurisdiction Bar Exams of Florida?
• Working as an immigration lawyer in Florida and Texas and other states is in high demand, and needs zero fantasy for a member of Florida bar. A Spanish speaking lawyer is in high demand not only in immigration law but moreover in criminal law
• How does a remote oafish lambda in a sleuthing bulletin board complete the pathology diagnostic of a lawyer member of the Florida Bar? Being a lawyer in the US means keeping up with frequent changes in laws, practice, and information technology. That is why the completion of frequent and demanding Continuing Legal Education and exams are required.
• 

Wendi Adelson is an admitted lawyer in good standing of the Florida bar. That is why it is difficult for the SAO to indict her despite the volume of indicators pointing to her parts in the murder of her ex-husband, as listed and described in the PCA and transcripts of the 4 previous related trials.

There is one particular TX bar qualification that imo she should have trouble meeting.

WA’s status as an attorney (in good standing or otherwise) has zero to do with whether she will be indicted. The issue is evidence.

Not sure where you are getting this information from but a member of the FL Bar is not permitted to practice law in TX without passing the TX Bar. The exception would be a getting a “Pro Hac Vice Admission” for a single case like Allen Jackson did in the Karen Reed case – he was not licensed to practice in MA.

I looked it up.

That's generally the case in most states. You have to pass the bar in each state to practice.

Anyone can declare themselves "self-employed" even if they have no clients or zero revenue coming in. I would counter-argue that in today's US political environment, lots of folks are needing immigration guidance and I'm sure if she wanted to, WA could find some clients in that area, especially since she speaks Spanish.

Not an expert on the requirements so I can’t answer without doing research but I don’t think the answer is cut and dry. For Wendi to practice in TX is not as simple as flashing her Florida Bar license. See the post by ‘Smelly Squirrel’ on the Texas board of examiners law examiners requirements. – that seems to be the most accurate on what hoops she need to jump through to practice in TX. Re practicing ‘immigration law’, it is governed by federal statutes, so there may be a different / easier path but definitely outside knowledge base. If she were working in TX but handling cases in FL remotely from TX, I don’t see that as an issue.

Thank you. I looked it up when she moved there-regardless of someone challenging me on it.

It's a pretty inefficient system having to retake bar exams when moving State. Passing one bar exam, you'd forget a lot of what you studied and have to spend weeks if not months of study to get ready for it. Luckily in Australia we only have to do the bar if we want to be barristers.

We are going pretty far afield, but allow me to clarify a basic point as a practicing attorney and a member of multiple state bars.

There is a concept called “reciprocity” whereby one jurisdiction will admit someone to their bar without having to pass that jurisdiction’s bar exam. For example if State Y and State X have reciprocity, someone who passed the bar in State Y can be admitted to the bar in State X (and vice versa). This is also known as as “waiving in” to a state’s bar. Reciprocity arrangements have fine print. For example, to “waive in” to State Y’s bar from State X, you may need to have been a practicing attorney in State X for a certain amount of time. The requirements for waiving in depend on the given jurisdiction.

In short, it is wholly incorrect to claim that the only way to become a member of any state’s bar is to take that state’s bar exam. It depends on the state

Thought that might be the case. In Australia we do Practical legal Training, which is essentially a post grad course. Then we get our law license. To become a barrister you do a course which includes things like mock trials.

She is probably still working for the same Miami non-profit as she was working for when that photo was taken of her and George thats been posted (red dress). She doesn’t need a Tx license to work for a Miami non-profit. A lawyer can work off their laptop anywhere for a Miami non profit with their Florida license.
I believe it’s called “St Michaels legal center for women and children” (or something like that- don’t remember the exact title)

Edit-

Wendi Adelson is
listed as an attorney with the St. Michael's Legal Center for Women and Children in Miami Beach, according to a January 2025 source. The legal center's website (wendyzichtcreativedivorce.com) indicates she offers legal assistance in family law, including divorce, child custody, child support, and alimony.

Career at St. Michael's Legal Center

• Role: Wendi Adelson is listed as an attorney at the center, based in Miami Beach.
• Services: Her professional profile at the center describes her as a lawyer who provides assistance with family law issues, such as divorce, child custody, child support, and property division.
• Background: Adelson is a law professor at Florida State University, where she resigned in January 2015. She is still a member in good standing with the Florida Bar.

 

[Cryptic]

Any idea on how immigration law works with the courts since it is mostly a federal issue? Does State Bar admittance still matter in federal courts? Anyway, I just assumed that if she was working, WA would be remotely working with Florida clients from Texas. Attorneys do this all the time these days.

Immigration Courts will accept any lawyer with a valid state bar card. This may be due to the fact that even though their decisions can have heavy concequences such as deportation, they are still administrative courts.

But.... full federal criminal courts may require a separate federal bar card- or maybe its really a certificate of some kind?

Speculation on my part obviously, but from what we've heard from witness testimony is that she has been struggling with her mental health since her teens, has been on a variety of prescription medication including anti-depressants, anti-psychotic medication and sleeping medication. Supposedly prescribed by her Dad. According to JL and a few other people she was/is a heavy drinker.

And on top of all of that she has been named as an unindicted co-conspiracy, unofficially labelled as a prime suspect, and has had her brother and mother jailed. So with all of that going on, I don't think she is capable of working fulltime in a demanding legal role, period. From what we've seen of her on the stand, it's really important for her to portray this image of a happy, successful lawyer and justifiable nominee for mother of the year. But I think she's a complete trainwreck, a pathological liar and a fantasist. Out of all the Adelsons she is the most mal-adjusted and unstable. I don't even think she was ever a competent lawyer. She did well in some exams and that was it. Even her book was terrible.

 

[Fromeaster]

The point is that she has no career, she works in some organizations and short-term jobs, where she is hired, she works there. And what were her ambitions!!!! To earn millions!!!! As I understand it, she moved to Austin, because of Jorge, because he got a job there (gossip).

Agree. If she has been named as such, why hasn't she been indicted?? And HA? He isn't getting any younger.

Some people will likely interpret my comment as defending Wendi. Not sure where you are getting info about her struggling as a teen, but I wouldn’t doubt it. Just look at her parents. Donna has shown what she is capable of – she is a convicted murderer that has likely manipulated and gaslight people her entire life. Harvey showed is true character during Donna sentencing. Only one of their three offspring was amazingly able to escape Donna and Harvey’s toxicity and detach himself from their dysfunctional way thinking and of life and we probably only know a small portion of the family dysfunction that goes beyond the murder. All three of Donna and Harvey’s children were fighting against all odds. Children born into families where one or both parents have psychological issues have a difficult life journey. Wendi and Charlie both seem to have more than average intelligence and if they were brought up in a different environment with normal parents they would have had a better chance at life and likely have been successful members of society – success is not measured by what you do for a living or by your academic achievements. Its hard not to feel sorry for any person that is born into a family like the Adelson family.

You still have a choice in life. I had a very abusive childhood but made the decision not to go that path.

Same here. Glad you were an overcomer.
Sometimes separating oneself from your parents is what saves you.
I think that happened with Rob. Some kids stay near the parents and become part of their psychopathy (Charlie and Wendi), and others leave the nest a free bird. Not that they still don’t suffer but the parents are not a part of their day to day life, manipulating and controlling.
It almost happened with Rob. He escaped.
Robert let his Florida license expire in 2014. Interesting timing.
He would never practice there-yet he had a license in both NY and Florida since he graduated med school.

 

[Fromeaster]

To me, Wendi is such a complete fake persona. A person who lies, lies, and lies. I can only imagine what kind of victim she plays in front of her friends and her roommate Jorge, what kind of propaganda is broadcast to the children, how the Markel family is demonized, she blames them 100 percent.

I'm not suggesting it's impossible to overcome a challenging upbringing, and every situation varies, from parents with mild issues to those with severe psychological conditions. Regarding the Adelson children, a 33% success rate may be on the highend based on what we know about Donna and Harvey. For every Robert Adelson raised in the same or similar environment, there are likely four or five Charlie Adelsons. I'm glad you overcame your personal challenges. While we all have choices, I believe a person's upbringing and environment significantly shape their moral character, and not everyone can overcome a dysfunctional upbringing.
