WI Supreme Court

Case Name: 1999AP62-D; 2002AP2962-D

Case No.: Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility v. Jane A. Edgar

Focus: Disciplinary Proceedings

Attorney license is reinstated with certain conditions

“The OLR also acknowledges that Attorney Edgar has expressed “deep regret” for her misconduct. Attorney Edgar has satisfied the costs imposed on her in connection with her 1999 disciplinary case, paid full restitution to former clients as required by her 2003 suspension order, and has paid the costs associated with her first attempt at reinstatement. And, significantly, Attorney Edgar has addressed mental health issues that previously compromised her ability to function as a lawyer. Consequently, many of the conditions imposed in prior disciplinary proceedings are no longer warranted. “
