The general counsel of Midas parent company TBC Corp. is locked in a legal battle with the disciplinary counsel for the state of Ohio after a panel recommended a suspension for the lawyer, who allegedly practiced law while previously suspended from practice in the state.

In April, the Board of Professional Conduct of the Supreme Court of Ohio recommended that Brian Maciak undergo a two-year stayed suspension. Oral arguments took place Tuesday morning in the state’s high court to examine this decision.
