According to a report published by The Miami Herald, Coral Gables-based personal injury attorney and Miami Springs resident Jackson Lainez is facing immediate professional consequences as criminal charges against him remain pending in court.
The state Supreme Court has officially granted a petition from the Florida Bar for an interim suspension of Lainez’s license to practice law. Lainez, 48, who serves as the head of the firm “Action Jackson Law” (and resides in Miami Springs), did not oppose the Bar’s request, filing a notice of no opposition. The suspension is scheduled to go into effect starting October 24, 2026, sidelining him from practicing law while his criminal proceedings continue.

Local Miami Springs Connection and Investigation
Lainez is a long-time resident of Miami Springs. He received local recognition in June 2019 when he was awarded the City of Miami Springs “Yard of the Month” award. Additionally, Lainez was known within the local community for advertising his Coral Gables personal injury law firm in parish bulletins and community flyers.
The criminal case against Lainez originally initiated in Miami Springs. On October 25, 2024, a formal complaint was made to the Miami Springs Police Department regarding allegations of lewd and lascivious behavior involving minors. Due to the specialized nature of the investigation and the age of the children involved, the Miami Springs Police Department transferred the case to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit (SVU) for further investigation, which eventually culminated in his arrest on February 5, 2026.
Pending Criminal Charges
According to records referenced by The Miami Herald, Lainez is currently facing multiple felony charges in criminal court. These charges include one count of lewd and lascivious exhibition on a child under the age of 16 by an individual 18 or older, and two counts of lewd and lascivious conduct on a child under 16 by an individual 18 or older.
Lainez was originally arrested on February 5 and was subsequently released from custody after posting a $15,000 bond.
Defense Looks Forward to Exoneration
Lainez’s defense counsel, Eric Schwartzreich, responded to the developments, stating in an email to The Miami Herald that the defense is actively litigating the case. Schwartzreich emphasized that they “look forward to Mr. Lainez being exonerated of these allegations.”
