Wisconsin Supreme Court takes four years to decide a disciplinary case

Wisconsin Supreme Court ignores referee’s recommendation for a revocation for 45 violations of ethical rules.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court substantially reduces a license suspension as recommended by the referee, despite the attorney not filing an appeal from the referee’s recommendation.

A lawyer has been suspended since 2009 while the California SC is considering a disbarment recommendation for over 1,100 bar complaints.

The Supreme Court overrode lying lawyer’s suspension in favor of a public reprimand.

There is absolutely no question that the clerk is simply wrong. She swore an oath to obey the law – not just those laws she agrees with.

The decision of the Wisconsin SC was unanimous, apparently they all agree that a lawyer who had been disciplined on two prior occasions, committed 42 new violations affecting 12 clients and did not even bother to respond to the allegations should not have his license revoked.

Tina Dahle was found in violation of 55 counts of professional misconduct and her license was suspended. What does it take for the Wisconsin SC to revoke an attorney’s license?

Counts included two criminal convictions, one of them a felony. Amazingly, that did not result in a revocation of attorney’s license.
