O'Mara says Florida Bar inquiry in Zimmerman case was one he initiated
He predicts he'll be cleared.
Attorney Mark O'Mara says that a pending Florida Bar ethics inquiry related to how he handled the George Zimmerman case is one he initiated more than a year ago when trying to figure out how to manage Zimmerman's legal defense fund and a social media campaign.
"I am certain that the matter will be closed shortly, and that the conclusion will suggest that we handled these new and novel approaches in an appropriate and ethical way," O'Mara wrote in a blog post.
The bar confirmed Monday that O'Mara was the subject of an ethics complaint but provided no details, including who filed it and what allegations it included.
O'Mara would not comment Monday, but Tuesday afternoon he posted a long explanation on his website, omaralawblog.com.
