‘Too politically advantageous to be a mere accident’: Ex-Florida judge once charged for pulling gun on neighbor now disbarred over ‘dishonesty’

The Supreme Court of Florida on Thursday formally disbarred a former judge, agreeing with a referee’s report that he lied in his campaign finance reports.

The ex-judge in question, Miguel “Mike” Mirabal, has a bit of tangled legal web. He previously appeared in a Law&Crime article for allegedly pulling a gun on his neighbor. That case, adjudicated under “no action” in early 2022, has nothing to do with the fact that he can no longer practice law in the Sunshine State. His disbarment originates from his pursuit of an elected judgeship in Miami-Dade County.

“In the end, Mirabal exhibited basic, fundamental dishonesty with his conduct in this case, and we have repeatedly made plain that such a serious flaw ‘cannot be tolerated by a profession that relies on the truthfulness of its members,”” the court said.

As a candidate, he was supposed to regularly file campaign finance reports with the Miami-Dade County Elections Department. The court says that Mirabal overstated his campaign’s coffers for political gain.
