WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Tiffany T. Luther

Case No.: 2017 WI 98

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings

We review the report and recommendation of Referee Jonathan V. Goodman, approving a stipulation filed by the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) and Attorney Tiffany T. Luther and concluding that Attorney Luther committed the professional misconduct alleged by the OLR, as stipulated by the parties. The referee determined that a public reprimand of Attorney Luther’s license to practice law is appropriate.

Upon careful review of this matter, we uphold the referee’s findings of fact and conclusions of law and agree that a public reprimand is an appropriate sanction for Attorney Luther’s misconduct. We also find it appropriate to impose the full costs of this proceeding, which are $7,414.04 as of July 18, 2017. The OLR has confirmed that Attorney Luther paid restitution and that no additional restitution order is warranted.
