Thought I'd bring this case to your attention. Though this is reportedly the only case that the State of Maine has ever settled regarding malicious prosecution, that doesn't mean it isn't happening. From a Sun Journal story on 12-12-12 here are Filler's comments:
“I believe we all have an absolute moral and constitutional obligation to fight abuse of officials who now wield almost absolute power to destroy our lives and undermine the administration of justice” ~Vladek Filler
“What my children and I were put through is inexcusable, and I urge the Law Court to review all the evidence I have documented and provided to the Bar Counsel and act accordingly to defend our civil rights.”
And here's a story at Maine Public that mentions Filler's 2015 civil lawsuit. And a summary at Boston.com which states that AFA Mary Kellett only received a 30 day suspension...not enough.
