“The referee further found that by misappropriating clients’ funds being held in his trust account Attorney Lieuallen violated the standard of conduct set forth by this court in Disciplinary Proceedings Against Marine, 82 Wis. 2d 602, 609-10, 264 N.W.2d 285 (1978) and, therefore, violated SCR 20:8.4(f).”
We agree with the referee that attorney Lieuallen’s gross pattern of misconduct, including the conversion of more than $60,000 of clients’ funds to his own use, warrants the revocation of Lieuallen’s license to practice law in Wisconsin. He must also make restitution to the parties listed in the referee’s report and pay the Office of Lawyer Regulation the costs of this proceeding.
So ordered.
