Professional Responsibility — public reprimand

Where attorney Mark Alan Ruppelt had sexual relations with a client, and failed to disclose that to his firm and the OLR, a public reprimand is appropriate.

“We adopt the referee’s findings of fact and conclusions of law that Attorney Ruppelt violated the supreme court rules as alleged in Counts One, Two, and Three of the OLR’s complaint. We also agree with the referee that a public reprimand is an appropriate sanction for Attorney Ruppelt’s misconduct.”

2012AP2341-D OLR v. Ruppelt

Per Curiam.

Attorneys: For Complainant: Weigel, William J., Madison; MacArthur, Anne, Lake Mills; For Respondent: Johnson, Terry E., Milwaukee; Ruppelt, Mark A., Milwaukee
