The Florida Bar vs. Stephen Bruce Rakusin (Disbarment Hearing)

In this attorney disciplinary case, The Florida Bar accused Stephen Rakusin of numerous violations of the ethical standards for lawyers, including filing a frivolous complaint in the trial court based on claims that were false and untrue. The judge-referee recommended that the court disbar Rakusin, and the Florida Bar supported that recommendation. Mr. Rakusin argued that the Bar filed the complaint outside the statute of limitations and that the ethical complaint against him should be dismissed.
The Florida Supreme Court ultimately found in favor of Rakusin, deciding that the grievance against him had been filed outside the statute of limitation.

The referee recommended disbarment in 2014 and this hearing didn't take place until 2023. That's absurd!

its unfortunate that so many judges rule by there political leanings then by the law, and so many will never be punished for these acts unfortunately our judicial system is corrupt so the people that should be watching and punishing these judges many times do nothing well peoples rights are trampled on

So you didn’t get what you wanted in Court. It’s always someone else’s fault when a party does not prevail, in this case it’s a ‘corrupt ‘ system. 😂🎉😅

On May 8, 2023 the supreme Court issued an order of disbarment. I think that the information on this page is incorrect.
