LOL-- Anyone with greater knowledge than I have should step in and correct me-- property law is the opposite of my forte...
I haven't researched or thought thoroughly about this, but I think that specific rule could be referring to property an attorney holds in safekeeping for a client. ie. if I give my atty a gun to keep safely and the attorney disposes of it or sells it etc.
However, the passage you're citing could be applied to a situation like you're alluding to--
"conversion" is, as I recall, the interference with one's right to possess or hold interest in their property. So, I think this rule would apply to real and personal property, as well as property rights/media interests in certain applicable situations.
Well that just makes my head spin!!Oh puhleeze!
Baez defended himself and said he wasn't responsible for Todd Black's comments, because Black was not Baez's employee and Baez said he didn't know what Black was releasing to the media.
"PCM's statements were not made at the direction or with the approval of Mr. Baez. Mr. Baez has not paid and will not pay any part of PCM's fees or expenses," an attorney representing Baez wrote in a statement to the Bar.
The Florida Bar agreed and no disciplinary action was taken, but in the past Baez said Black was an employee.
"Todd Black does still work for us," Baez said in October 2008. "He has freed up so much of my time to concentrate on Casey's case."
Eyewitness News asked the Bar that statement and Baez told them he didn't see the inflammatory releases, but then later on he decided to hire Black and now reviews the releases.
Bolded by me.The article said The Florida Bar and on JVM it was the state attorney's office. I think we're all forgetting about the "huggies" JB was giving KC in jail. Ah ha - remember those - it was stated back then that there would be an investigation. So, I kinda think that is what the Florida Bar is looking at NOW. But the rumblings of the financial mess are also heating up.
I'm not sure that JB would be "incompetent" enough to even think he could violate an ethical canon and get away with it but then again - you never know. Money makes for stange bedfellows and all..........
JMHO
To me all this means is someone has suggested some impropriety, filed a claim and the powers are looking into it, as they should.
We had another case where a member from a board filed the claim after having discussion. We don't have the first clue.
Sorry to resurrect this thread JBean:blowkiss: but this is new today.
Fla is apparently investigating the Baez and Todd Black connection again.

The Florida Bar has another inquiry open into Casey Anthony's defense attorney, Jose Baez.
A Bar spokeswoman couldn't disclose details about the inquiry, but said it pertains to Baez's relationship with his now former media-relations company.
