Understand the concern and before you contemplate taking such drastic actions make sure you are committed. Here’s my thought process, if I file a grievance against the CEO since he is an attorney (we believe), his hand is forced to respond. They will evaluate his response to determine his veracity etc, he will need to provide supporting docs to establish there was no conflict of interest and he is acting in good faith. If it is indeed true he is then this goes off into the sunset. That would be good news because he provided enough evidence to support he is acting in good faith. You should receive a decision from the grievance committee stating the outcome. Alternatively, if he can’t prove he is indeed acting in good faith, well then he will have the full weight of the California state bar coming down in him. Ultimately he has nothing to worry if he did the right thing. However his lack of communication gives rise to the appearance of impropriety which is all the evidence you need to support a grievance. This is not a blind or retaliatory grievance in fact it’s quite the opposite. A reasonable person would at least respond to the inquiries and give some info as to what is going on. The lack of that very thing gives rise to a suspicion of inappropriate activity. God willing I hope I am wrong and we don’t have and Alex and George 2.0. Hope that helps but at this point I can’t see any other plausible alternative which is unfortunate. I never want to go after someone’s livelihood but they are really not giving us any other option at this point. Hope the foregoing made sense and your farm is ok.
