Florida Bar President Roland Sanchez-Medina has been accused of misappropriating $625,000 related to a 2018 real estate transaction involving Klip, LLC and Sherman Campbell, LLC. He has denied the allegations and provided multiple explanations concerning the whereabouts of the funds. Despite the open complaint acknowledged by the Florida Bar, details regarding the investigation's status remain undisclosed. The situation has also prompted civil lawsuits and calls for financial evidence from Sanchez-Medina, who has served various roles in the legal community since joining the Bar in 1992.
"I categorically and unequivocally deny misappropriating $625,000," Sanchez-Medina said in an email to the Miami Herald. "I have responded to the complaint denying the accusation."
Sanchez-Medina's responses reference three different answers he has given about the money: paid to one company, sitting in his law firm's trust account, paid to another company.
The complaint filed Nov. 15, 2024, by Homestead's Christos 'Nicko' Christidis concerns Sanchez-Medina's conduct during a July 2018 commercial real estate deal between Klip, LLC and Robert Morgan III's Sherman Campbell, LLC.
Beyond stating the complaint was open, the Bar didn't disclose the status of the investigation. But, Sanchez-Medina has been asked for financial data and bank records.
