Supreme Court of Florida
The Florida Bar v. Michael Christopher Grieco
June 27, 2024389 So. 3d 1257
Summary
The court upheld the referee’s findings that Grieco violated three professional-conduct rules by accepting an unlawful campaign contribution and making repeated intentionally false or misleading statements about his involvement with a political organization. Although the court agreed that suspension was warranted, it rejected the recommended 90-day suspension and imposed a one-year rehabilitative suspension because of Grieco’s continuing dishonesty, prior discipline, aggravating factors, and failure to acknowledge his misconduct.
