FLORIDA: can an attorney accept services as payment from a client? (E.g: drafting a demand letter for a client in exchange for web design services)

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.

Hello fishes, recently I have received the job offers from Akamai & Nasdaq with kind of equivalent pay. I've an experience of 2.7 yrs in Java Backend. In Nasdaq, I feel the project is slightly on better side and also domain driven in comparison of Akamai. The only thing that is troubling me is 90 days notice policy in Nasdaq. Just want to check if it's a bad thing or would it still be worthy against the project & domain.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
