On Thursday, January 26, 2023, the Supreme Court of Florida suspended attorney Raegan S. Yunger for a felony conviction. The case is entitled “The Florida Bar v Raegan S. Yunger” with case no. SC23-116.
The charges cited Florida Statute 782.04(1)(a)(1) and 893.13(6)(a) and Florida Bar Rule 4-8.4(b) which states:
A lawyer shall not commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects.
On January 26. 2023, the Florida Bar stated before the court that an indictment was filed in State of Florida v. Raegan Starr Yunger, charging the respondent with first-degree murder and possession of methamphetamine, which in its nature both constitute a felony.
The respondent was arrested on March 10, 2021, in Orange County, Florida. Two years after, the respondent entered a plea of no contest to manslaughter. The respondent was found guilty by the court and given a 10-year sentence in the Department of Corrections. In relation to the alleged facts and the conviction of the respondent, the Florida Bar requested the court to enter an order suspending the respondent.

(A lawyer shall not commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects); B. Suspending respondent pursuant to Rule 3-7.2(), Rules of Discipline of The Florida Bar.”

Yunger is suspended from The Florida Bar pursuant to 3-7.2(1) of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, and it is further ORDERED that this suspension shall be effective thirty days from the date of this order so that the respondent can close out her practice and protect the interests of existing clients.”
