Marshall Craig Watson, P.O. Box 460862, Fort Lauderdale, suspended for 91 days, effective 30 days from a May 30 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1983) Watson failed to supervise his employees and he failed to develop and maintain acceptable policies and operating practices for his law firm to ensure that he and his staff were complying with Bar rules. Between 2006 and 2011, Watson’s company handled thousands of foreclosure cases on behalf of banks, lenders and financial institutions. The Bar received numerous complaints against Watson during that time from four members of the judiciary as well as defendants in foreclosure actions. (Case No. SC12-2731)
