The Find a Lawyer directory is provided as a public service. The Florida Bar maintains limited basic information about attorneys licensed to practice in the state (e.g., name, address, year of
birth, gender, law schools attended, admission year). However, through this directory The Florida Bar allows individual attorneys the opportunity to provide for public information certain
expanded personal and professional data. It is the attorney' s responsibility to routinely review and update those expanded listings. The information contained in those expanded listings is
presented by the Bar "as is" with no warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Florida Bar, its Board of Governors, employees, and agents thereof are not responsible for the accuracy of

Grievance Committees
Ninth Circuit Grievance Committee "A"
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.

Re: Complaint of Neil J . Gillespie against Danielle Nicole Parsons
The Florida Bar File No. 2014-30,525 (09A)
Dear Ms. Savitz:
I have and thank you for your letter J uly 29, 2014 referring my complaint to Lisa M. Acharekar,
Chair, Office of Statewide Prosecution. Unfortunately I do not understand referral to the Office
of Statewide Prosecution, which is apparently part of the Office of the Attorney General, and the
designation of Ms. Acharekar as Chair, which usually pertains to a Bar grievance committee.
A few of my past Bar complaints with other lawyers were referred to a Bar grievance committee,
which included a Chair, a designated reviewer (BOG member), and in one case Assistant State
Attorney Brian Kramer was appointed as an investigator, but Mr. Kramer appeared only as a
member of the grievance committee, and not in an official role as an Assistant State Attorney for
the State Attorney's Office for the Eighth J udicial Circuit. (2011-00,073(8B), Notice enclosed)
So I am confused, which is not a criticism of the process. In 2007 I self-referred the matter with
Mr. Rodems to Governor Charlie Crist, then Attorney General Bill McCollum. In 2010 I self-
referred the Rodems matter to AG McCollum, through the Office of Statewide Prosecution and
the 19th Statewide Grand J ury (SC09-1910) on public corruption, all to no avail. (enclosed)
I would appreciate any information you can provide that would assist me in understanding the
current referral to Ms. Acharekar, Chair, Office of Statewide Prosecution. It appears to be a Bar
grievance committee and Attorney General/Office of Statewide Prosecution combination which I
do not understand in the context of my Bar complaint against Ms. Parsons.
Thank you in advance for the courtesy of a response.
Sincerely,
Neil J . Gillespie

Dear Mr. Gillespie:
Thank you for contacting Governor Charlie Crist. The Governor appreciates your
concerns about a law firm in Florida and asked me to respond on his behalf.
The Florida Constitution limits the Governor's intervention in matters that should be
resolved through the court system. Each state attorney is an elected official charged
with certain discretionary duties, including the duty to determine whether or not to
prosecute any particular crime committed within his or her jurisdiction. This decision is
based on the quality and quantity of the evidence of guilt shown, and in the best interest
of justice. I encourage you to work with the state attorney's office to resolve this
situation.
As you know, your best source of assistance with a complaint about an attorney is
the Florida Bar. The primary purpose of the Florida Bar is to ensure the highest
standards of professionalism in the practice of law for the benefit of members and the
public. I encourage you to continue working with the Florida Bar to resolve your
concerns. Complaints may be filed by writing the Florida Bar at 650 Apalachee
Parkway, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300 or by calling 1-800-342-8060.
I also encourage you to express your concerns to Attorney General Bill McCollum.
You can contact Attorney General McCollum by writing to the Office of the Attorney
General, The Capitol, Tallahassee, Florida 3'2399, or by calling (850) 4,14-3990.
Thank you again for contacting Governor Crist. The Governor hopes your concerns
can be resolved to your satisfaction.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Gillespie:
Thank you for contacting Attorney General Bill McCollum regarding Barker, Rodems & Cook, P.A.
and the allegation of perjury by Mr. Ryan Christopher Rodems.
The Attorney General's Office does not have jurisdiction in this matter. By contacting The Florida Bar
you have contacted the appropriate agency to review your concerns. The Florida Supreme Court has
designated The Florida Bar as the agency responsible for reviewing grievances against lawyers
licensed to practice in this state. The Florida Bar's decisions are not subject to the Attorney General's
authority.
As the Governor's Office suggested, and as you wish to file a criminal complaint regarding alleged
perjury, please contact the local law enforcement agency and state attorney's office where the criminal
violation occurred. In Florida, the local police or sheriffs department and the elected state attorney in
each judicial circuit are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime at the local level. Those
authorities operate independently and are not a part of the Attorney General's Office. If you have not
already done so, you may contact the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office and Thirteenth Judicial
Circuit State Attorney's Office at the following:
Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office
Post Office Box 3371
Tampa, Florida 33601
Phone: (813) 247-8000
Thirteenth Judicial Circuit State Attorney's Office
County Courthouse Annex, Fifth Floor
800 East Kennedy Boulevard
Tampa, Florida 33602
Phone: (813) 272-5400
Otherwise, please continue with your private attorney if you need any legal guidance. An attorney can
give you the legal advice which our office is not at liberty to provide to private individuals. We hope
this proves helpful to you. Thank you for contacting Attorney General McCollum's Office.

Dear Mr. Gillespie:
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum received your correspondence regarding the law firm of Barker,
Rodems & Cook, PA; William J. Cook; the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court; and the Honorable Martha
J. Cook.
Attorney General McCollum issued a statement (enclosed) on the Florida Supreme Court's order to
convene a statewide grand jury on public corruption. The Statewide Prosecutor will serve, by law, as the
statewide grand jury's counsel. As mentioned in the statement, our Statewide Prosecutor will work with
the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Florida's state attorneys to identify investigations and
cases to bring before the statewide grand jury.
I am forwarding your correspondence to the Statewide Prosecution Office for review. However, due to
the confidential nature of investigations, the Statewide Prosecution Office is not at liberty to comment
further. We will keep your concerns under advisement.
I note that you have already contacted The Florida Bar which is the correct agency to file a complaint
regarding an attorney. The Florida Supreme Court designated The Florida Bar as the agency responsible
for reviewing grievances against lawyers licensed to practice in this state. Please continue working with
that agency for whatever assistance or information they may be able to provide to you.
Regarding judges, the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) is the appropriate authority to review a
complaint involving judicial conduct. The JQC is an independent agency created by the Florida
Constitution solely to investigate alleged misconduct by Florida state judges. You may contact that
agency at:

Attorney General: Statewide Grand Jury will Help Restore Trust in Government
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Attorney General Bill McCollum today issued the following statement on the
upcoming statewide grand jury on public corruption, which is scheduled to begin jury selection next week:
"Floridians should be able to be proud of the public officials who serve their state and their communities,
not ashamed of the latest scandal by someone in elected office. We absolutely should expect better of
those we have chosen to lead us.
''The grand jury will need to examine the blatant theft of public resources and, perhaps most importantly,
the illicit sources of influence upon public officials and how to lift the cloud of scandal that has been
1
AG Opinions present for far too long.
"Led by my Office of Statewide Prosecution and working cooperatively with the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement, as well as local law enforcement and Florida's state attorneys, the grand jury will work
toward restoring the public's trust in its government. I anticipate excellent work from these men and
women who will undertake this responsibility, and I know Florida will benefit greatly from their efforts."

The Statewide Grand Jury was convened by the Florida Supreme Court in early December to examine a
list of specific crimes including bribery, extortion, unlawful compensation for official behavior, corruption by
