TYRONE MANAGER UNDER INVESTIGATIONThe State Bar of Georgia is investigating Barry Amos for the unlicensed practice of law. GA Law states, its unlawful for anyone without a license to engage in any kind of legal activity. The Bar complaint alleges that Amos has been writing Tyrone Ordinances. Tyrone regulations state that all ordinances and resolutions must be approved for form and legality by the Town Attorney. In the past that approval meant the Attorney would sign each document. Attorney Brad Sears did not sign Ordinance 454 and others. Former Town Attorney John Mrosek and Amos often had disagreements over legal matters. So much so that Mrosek said he resigned in frustration. Mrosek did not sign Ordinance 341 which Brad Sears says is Tyrone's Zoning Ordinance. Mrosek's name under Approved By: is typed in but, no signature on the line. The ultimate penalty for practicing law without a license is prison. Councilwoman Grace Caldwell says other complaints have been made about Amos' unlicensed practice of law. Caldwell also accused Amos of misrepresenting sewer usage to her at a recent Council meeting. Misrepresentation is a form of fraud. thelonerangeroftyrone's blog | login to post comments |
