The referee considered the nature and number of the offenses charged in these consolidated cases and respondent’s previous disciplinary convictions and recommended that he be disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Florida, that he be ordered to reimburse to Signs, Inc. of Florida the $2,500 retainer which he accepted to represent the corporation, and that he pay all costs of these disciplinary proceedings.

Having carefully reviewed the record, we approve the findings and recommendations of the referee.

Accordingly, respondent, Robert M. Se-gal, is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Florida effective immediately.*

Judgment for costs in the amount of $879.19 is hereby entered against respondent, for which let execution issue.
