|| Subject: Request for Disciplinary Action and Justice Regarding Ethical Violations, Abuse, and Procedural Misconduct in Surina v. Surina

  

Dear Recipients,

I am writing to formally express my grave concerns about ongoing ethical violations, procedural misconduct, and failures to protect the safety and well-being of my children, Andrew and David Surina. Over the past six years, credible evidence of abuse, neglect, and manipulation has surfaced repeatedly, yet those responsible for ensuring justice and safeguarding my children’s welfare have been derelict in their duties.  

This letter serves as a demand for immediate action against the misconduct by Attorney Stanley Kempner Jr., the petitioner (Sirinya Surina), and other actors who have perpetuated harm against my children through unethical legal practices and repeated violations of court orders.

  

|| Evidence of Abuse and Neglect  
1. Documented Abuse of Andrew and David:  
   - Andrew was physically assaulted and strangled by Sirinya’s boyfriend, Eric Brubaker, in an incident so severe it rendered him unconscious.  
   - Sirinya stood by, listening and failing to intervene, and then walked into a store while Eric staged the scene to appear as an accident.  
   - This occurred in public, with witnesses observing Eric’s attempt to conceal the crime by releasing Andrew’s seatbelt, causing him to fall headfirst.  

2. Neglect and Inhumane Treatment:  
   - My son Andrew was subjected to appalling treatment in a Costco parking lot, recorded on video. Even the court acknowledged the inhumane nature of Sirinya’s actions.  

3. Failure to Provide Care:  
   - Sirinya has consistently failed to meet basic parental responsibilities, including medical care, emotional support, and compliance with legal obligations such as updated financial disclosures.  

  

|| Legal and Ethical Violations by Attorney Stanley Kempner  
Attorney Stanley Kempner has demonstrated unethical conduct that violates professional standards, rules of court, and laws, including but not limited to:  

1. Manipulation of Court Proceedings:  
   - Kempner misrepresented facts and omitted material details to manipulate outcomes in his client’s favor, including denying a properly filed custody modification.  
   - He narrowed proceedings to exclude critical issues, such as the impact of relocation, despite knowing relocation had already been stipulated and was not at issue.  

2. False Statements to the Court:  
   - Kempner falsely claimed there was no stipulated agreement signed on October 31, 2023, despite having drafted it himself.  

3. Unethical Influence:  
   - His personal interest in impressing his client, Sirinya, has clouded his professional judgment, leading to actions designed to delay and frustrate the judicial process rather than serve justice.  

4. Violation of RPC 3.3 and RPC 8.4:  
   - RPC 3.3 (Candor Toward the Tribunal): Kempner knowingly made false statements of fact and failed to correct material misrepresentations.  
   - RPC 8.4 (Misconduct): His conduct constitutes dishonesty, fraud, deceit, and misrepresentation, violating the standards expected of an officer of the court.  

5. Fraud on the Court:  
   - Kempner’s actions have included misleading CPS workers, suppressing evidence of abuse, and procedural narrowing to prevent a fair hearing on custody modification.  

  

|| Relevant Statutes and Case Law  
1. RCW 26.16.191(1)(c): Restrictions on Parenting Time for Abusive Behavior  
   - Washington law mandates restrictions on a parent’s time if physical abuse or neglect has occurred. The court must prioritize the safety and best interests of the children, which have been ignored in this case.  

2. In re Dependency of Schermer, 161 Wn.2d 927 (2007):  
   - This case emphasizes that courts must act decisively to protect children from harmful environments, even if it requires significant restrictions on a parent’s rights.  

3. RPC 3.3 & 8.4:  
   - Attorneys are held liable for knowingly making false statements or omitting material facts. Courts have disbarred attorneys for far less egregious conduct than what Kempner has exhibited.  

  

|| Demands for Action  

1. Washington State Bar Association:  
   - Investigate and discipline Attorney Kempner for his violations of professional ethics and misconduct. Attorneys have been disbarred for far less than knowingly misrepresenting facts, concealing abuse, and undermining the judicial process.  

2. Judge Palubicki:  
   - Immediately reconsider prior rulings tainted by Kempner’s misconduct and order a hearing on the pending custody modification to protect my children’s safety.  

3. Chief David Ellis:  
   - Investigate the failure of CPS and local law enforcement to act on credible reports of abuse, including the attempted homicide of Andrew Surina.  

4. U.S. Attorney’s Office:  
   - Initiate an inquiry into violations of federal law, including obstruction of justice and systemic failures in the family court system that have allowed ongoing harm to children.  

  

|| Conclusion  
My children, Andrew and David, are entitled to safety, stability, and justice. Yet, for six years, they have suffered due to procedural failures, deliberate misconduct, and unethical behavior by officers of the court. I implore you to act decisively to hold those responsible accountable and to protect the most sacred liberty any parent has—the right to protect their children.  

Failure to act will not only perpetuate injustice but also erode public trust in the institutions tasked with safeguarding the vulnerable.  

  

Sincerely,  
Aaron Surina
