Let me just WestLaw that for you...

Call the Florida bar. They have better resources than any other state I have practiced. Get on the phone and with no hassle you will speak with a real attorney who works for the ethics division who will look it up and give you an affirmative answer so there’s no ambiguity about what is allowed. I do it to put my mind at ease even when I know the answer.
