State Bar of Arizona Disbarring Conservative Attorney After Exercising His Free Speech

The State Bar of Arizona (SBA) is disbarring another conservative attorney, Vlad Gagic, after he loudly objected on social media to the prosecution of one of his clients, whom he believed was innocent. Gagic told me he acted as a whistleblower, exposing systemic corruption, prosecutorial misconduct, judicial bias and political retaliation. 

The situation arose while Gagic was defending his former client, Jamaal Pennington, a young black man who Gagic became convinced was wrongly accused of sex trafficking and pimping. Gagic told me he uncovered and documented massive misconduct by the prosecution. When Pennington’s accuser, the key witness against him, recanted her story and said she had identified the wrong man, Gagic told me he discovered witness tampering, with a detective coaching the victim via Facebook, giving her money and supporting her GoFundMe. He said he found falsified DNA warrants, fabricated confessions, missing evidence and coordinated accuser stories.  

Gagic asked Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell for an integrity review to reassess the case after his findings, but she refused. After that, he began criticizing her on social media. Mitchell was already under heavy criticism in Arizona for representing the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, asking for sanctions twice against Kari Lake and her attorneys in Lake’s election lawsuits.  

Mitchell filed a bar complaint against Gagic, and the SBA suspended his license for one year. After Gagic continued to loudly complain on social media about corruption, the SBA moved to disbar him.
