2006AP1045-D OLR v. Engelbrecht

Listen to this article

Where attorney Richard A. Engelbrecht never filed a divorce or a bankruptcy petition for a client, despite accepting a retainer for the filing fees and his services, a six months suspension is ordered.

“Attorney Engelbrecht stipulates that he fully understands the misconduct allegations and the ramifications should the court impose the stipulated level of discipline. He also represents that he understands his right to contest this matter, his right to consult with counsel and that his stipulation is made knowingly and voluntarily. He further represents that he admits all misconduct alleged in the stipulation and agrees to the level and type of discipline sought by the OLR, including the reinstatement condition. He is aware that the imposition of a six-month suspension of his law license results in his suspension until and unless he pursues successfully his petition for reinstatement pursuant to SCR 22.29 through 22.33.”
