Public Reprimand issued in FL, 2015

Christopher’s comment:
“All requirements have been met and I remained in good standing even through the process. Office policies and procedures have now been implemented to make sure that an employee error like that is not made again and the appropriate training on this matter of current employees has now been implemented.”
