Edward S. Sachs Appointed to Florida Bar Grievance Committee

Edward S. Sachs, partner with Appelrouth Farah & Co., was recently appointed to the Florida Bar Grievance Committee.  The Florida Bar’s Grievance Committees are made up of volunteer members, at least one-third of whom are not lawyers. Each of Florida’s 20 judicial circuits has at least one such committee. The grievance committee reviews complaints with much the same purpose as a grand jury. That is, the committee decides, after a case is submitted to them by bar counsel, whether there is probable cause to believe a lawyer violated the professional conduct rules imposed by the Supreme Court of Florida and whether discipline against the lawyer appears to be warranted.
