Bar Announces Florida Discipline Sanctions

By Michael Frisch

The Florida Bar announced disciplinary sanctions in a number of matters.

Highlights

Peter Dale Fellows, 1031 Ives Dairy Road, Suite 228, Miami, disbarred effective 30 days from a December 4 court order. (Admitted to Practice: 1999) In one matter, Fellows represented a homeowner in a foreclosure action and engaged in a conflict of interest by allowing his legal assistant, with whom he was romantically involved, to live in the home which was the subject of the representation. In another matter, Fellows claimed a nonrefundable fee without confirming in writing, and was dishonest during the disciplinary investigation. (Case No. SC16-1922)

Daily Business Review (Law.com) reported on the case and linked to the sanction order.

Also

Eric Brett Granitur, 100 S.E. 2nd St., Suite 3550, Vero Beach. The court granted Granitur’s petition for a disciplinary revocation, effective immediately, with leave to seek readmission after five years, following a December 13 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1986) Disciplinary revocation is tantamount to disbarment. Granitur was found guilty in federal court of three felony counts including conspiracy to commit false statements. While acting as the attorney and escrow agent of a title company, Granitur made or caused to be made false statements and reports to federally insured financial institutions while his co-conspirators provided buyers with incentives to purchase condominium units and concealed the incentives from the financial institutions. He was sentenced to one year and one day in prison. (Case No. SC18-1677)

Peter Milan Predrag Vujin, 1200 West Ave., Apt 824, Miami Beach, disbarred effective 30 days from a December 4 court order. (Admitted to Practice: 2003) While representing himself in two separate civil actions, Vujin engaged in frivolous, bad faith, annoying, and abusive litigation tactics. He also made misrepresentations to the court and others. Vujin displayed similar misconduct in the disciplinary proceedings. (Case No. SC17-1258)
