The Florida Bar, Complainant v. Shari Nicole Hines, Respondent

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the referee's factual findings but reversed the finding of no violation of Rule 4‑5.3(b), holding that Hines violated the rule by allowing a non‑lawyer who was not her employee or under her supervision to have signatory authority over an escrow account, and remanded for a sanction hearing; it also affirmed that Hines did not violate several other disciplinary rules.
