Florida Supreme Court justices have disciplined seven South Florida lawyers since March 21, issuing three suspensions, three disciplinary revocations and a permanent disbarment, according to information released Tuesday.

Miami Beach attorney Peter Milan Predrag Vujin has permanently lost his license after allegedly threatening the opposing party in a civil case with criminal action to gain a competitive edge. According to the referee's findings, Vujin sent an unfounded presuit demand seeking $9,000 plus $4,000 in attorney fees, claiming the recipient would “most likely face deportation for your obvious commission of several aggravated felonies.”

Vujin, who was admitted to the bar in 2003, is accused of misrepresenting what happened. He has previously been disciplined for similar conduct. Vujin disputed the accusations, claiming he'd blown the whistle on a fraudulent scheme. He said he's seeking legal recourse in federal court.

“I was disbarred under false pretenses to protect the criminal enterprise I have found out,” Vujin said in an emailed statement.

Miami personal injury attorney Raul Enrique Garcia Jr. was hit with a three-year suspension over alleged improper dealings with clients' trust funds, including five settlements. The court also found he failed to maintain proper accounting records.

West Palm Beach civil litigator Ethan Marcus Wayne, admitted to practice in 2007, was granted a disciplinary revocation after pleading guilty to felony health care fraud in December 2018.

Alexander N. Kapetan Jr. of Lighthouse Point in Fort Lauderdale also got a disciplinary revocation after pleading no contest to three felony charges: patient brokering, conspiracy to commit patient brokering and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Kapetan has practiced since 1999, and was sentenced to five years of probation.

The high court also granted disciplinary revocation to Doral attorney Juan Fernando Alban Naranjo, who was admitted to the bar in 1997. Naranjo is accused of causing contempt proceedings by missing federal court hearings and failing to properly communicate with a client.

Sabrina Starr Spradley in Delray Beach faces an 18-month suspension, with conditions and restitution, after allegedly sending threatening and disparaging emails to opposing counsel and a judicial assistant. She's also accused of accepting payments from clients in two other cases, without taking much or any action on their behalf.

According to the referee's report, Spradley's emails included statements like, “I assure you, you will not enjoy being in the same courtroom with me,” and, “Your client will wish that she were able to afford to hire my [sic] rather than you.”

Fort Lauderdale lawyer Stuart Jared Starr was suspended for 91 days after being held in contempt of a May 2018 court order for failing to let clients, opposing counsel and tribunals of his suspension. Starr has practiced law for more than 40 years.
