	Controversial Attorney Aretakis Suspended for One Year By Steven Cook Gazette Reporter December 11, 2008 http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2008/dec/11/1211_aretakis/ [with link to the court document] Controversial area attorney John Aretakis has been suspended from practicing law for one year by the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court. In a decision announced today, the court found Aretakis guilty of professional misconduct, citing six examples where he was sanctioned by judges in the past four years. The court found that Aretakis engaged in "frivolous conduct by making false accusations against judges" and other conduct. The suspension is effective Dec. 31. "Respondent engaged in frivolous conduct by making false accusations against judges, which accusations were prejudicial to the administration of justice, engaged in conduct that adversely reflects on his fitness as an attorney, asserted positions which served to harass and maliciously injure, knowingly made false statements of law and fact, and engaged in undignified and discourteous conduct degrading to the court," the court said in its decision.
