Prominent St. Thomas attorney Stephen Brusch suspended from practicing law, faces disbarment

Story about Stephen Brusch from the VI Daily News:

ST. THOMAS - Stephen Brusch, one of the Virgin Islands' most prominent and successful attorneys, has been suspended from practicing law in the Virgin Islands and faces possible disbarment.

A V.I. Supreme Court panel ruled Friday that Brusch's violations of the V.I. Bar Association's rules of conduct in at least two cases - and the likelihood of similar violations in several other cases pending before the Bar's Ethics and Grievance Committee - warrant an interim suspension.

Brusch, a former federal court public defender, has been at the forefront of some of the most high-profile criminal cases in the Virgin Islands. In the past year, he has defended Ashley Andrews in the Global Resources Management corruption case; Joel Dowdye, a police detective who killed his ex-girlfriend; and Jamal Hart, one of two brothers arrested on suspicion of killing two tourists, a crime that made national headlines.
