Jim Greer lawyer among Central Florida attorneys facing discipline, Bar says

A prominent Seminole County attorney, whose clients have included ousted Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer, is among several Central Florida lawyers facing discipline from the state Supreme Court, the Florida Bar said Wednesday.

Damon Chase, of the Lake Mary-based Chase Freeman firm, faces a public reprimand after an Oct. 1 court order. According to the Bar, he failed to adequately supervise a young associate in a complex real-estate litigation case.

Chase also used potentially threatening language in an email to a client, "failed to communicate adequately" with clients and "directed unprofessional language" to an opposing party in the case, the Bar said
