Attorney General Announces New Civil Rights Director

~ Former condominium ombudsman will lead Office of Civil Rights ~

TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that he has brought on a new Director for his Office of Civil Rights. Danille Carroll, formerly Florida’s Condominium Ombudsman, will take over the Office of Civil Rights and will begin focusing on housing law and any forms of housing discrimination.

“I am excited to have someone as experienced and passionate as Danille in this position of leadership,” said Attorney General McCollum. “I am confident she will be an incredible asset to the Attorney General’s Office and the citizens of Florida.”

Carroll, a native of Miami, has been a licensed attorney in Florida for over 10 years. In her role as the Condominium Ombudsman, she was responsible for a wide variety of issues, including but not limited to helping to resolve issues between boards of directors and unit owners, and educating board members and unit owners regarding their rights and responsibilities under the law. Carroll, 41, was also named one of Florida's top government attorneys in 2007 and 2008.

“I look forward to working with Attorney General McCollum to help ensure that civil rights laws are enforced in Florida,” said Carroll. “I am honored to be in a position to protect our citizens from becoming victims of any type of discrimination.”

Carroll will fill the vacancy left by former Director Allison Bethel.
