Ron DeSantis is a lawyer by training and served as a Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer; he earned his law degree and has practiced in various capacities, but he is primarily known as a politician and governor, not currently practicing law as a full-time attorney. He is licensed to practice law in Florida, with his background including time in the U.S. Navy JAG Corps and experience as a federal prosecutor early in his career.

If you want, I can pull the most recent public records on his bar status and summarize any ongoing legal-related developments involving him.[1]
