The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.
