INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Former St. Joseph County Democrat Party Chair and South Bend Community School Corporation Board Member, Stan Wruble, recently had his law license suspended by the Indiana Supreme Court for violations of Indiana Professional Conduct Rules, among other issues.
According to a ruling from the Indiana Supreme Court’s ethics commission:
“Respondent represented ‘Client’ in a matter in St. Joseph County. The parties reached an agreement, and the case was dismissed after Client fulfilled the conditions of the agreement. Client later left a one-star review of Respondent’s law firm on Google in which Client complained of difficulties communicating with Respondent. Respondent then made multiple demands, using derogatory and profane language, that Client remove the review. When Client refused, Respondent posted a public response to the Google review in which he revealed damaging information about Client relating to the subject of the representation. Respondent revealed similar damaging information in a defamation lawsuit he filed against Client in Marion County. This lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice on Respondent’s motion in January 2024.”
Due to the violations, Wruble will have a 30-day law license suspension, 18-months of probation and mandatory anger management. The ruling can be read in its entirety below.
Wruble served as the county’s Democrat party chair from 2019-2021. He served as an elected member on the South Bend Community School Corporation School Board from 2013-2018.
