Interesting reading here and many more details on J.A.B., including a
"simple assault" charge mentioned:

<<Specification 2(G) alleged that J.A.B. incurred an extravagant expense for transportation by currently
leasing a Mazda Miata for $340 per month. Specification 3 alleged that an answer on J.A.B.'s law school application, which
failed to disclose a 1989 charge of simple assault >>
<<In addition, J.A.B.'s conduct with regard to his finances as alleged and proven in Specification 2 raises very serious doubts as to his respect for the rights of others and for the law.
He has ignored a default judgment entered against him, and this judgment remained unsatisfied as of his investigative hearing in April 1998. He obligated himself to pay for a health club membership which he admits he could not afford, and he voluntarily participated in a foreign study program instead of working during available time, while at the same time failing to comply with the child support order. He issued a worthless check in May of 1994 and continued to issue two other worthless checks, even after graduating from law school and securing permanent employment. Each of these instances of financial irresponsibility standing alone may have been subject to reasonable explanation; however, we find that when considered together and with his violation of the court-ordered child support obligations, these events show a total lack of respect for the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system, which is absolutely inconsistent with the character and fitness qualities required of those seeking to be afforded the highest position of trust and confidence recognized by our system of law. Accordingly, we approve the Board's
recommendation that
J.A.B. not be admitted to The Florida Bar at this time.It is so ordered.>>
