Professional Responsibility – Suspension
By: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF//July 1, 2014//
Listen to this articleProfessional Responsibility – Suspension
Where attorney Geneva E. McKinley was convicted of two counts of filing false tax returns, a 60-day suspension is appropriate.
“In light of these mitigating factors, we accept the stipulation and impose the jointly requested sanction of a 60-day suspension of Attorney McKinley’s license to practice law in this state. We are confident that Attorney McKinley recognizes the seriousness of her misconduct. Filing tax returns that a person knows or believes are not true because they do not include all of a person’s income is a grave matter. Attorney McKinley’s criminal convictions and the resulting loss of her job have demonstrated that fact. The suspension of her license to practice law in this state, even though tempered in this instance because of mitigating factors, is a further indication that such conduct carries serious consequences.”
