Professional Responsibility
Revocation

Where attorney Michael C. Trudgeon committed 56 acts of misconduct, including conversion of client funds, abandoning clients, and practicing law after being suspended, his license is revoked.

"It is ultimately this court's responsibility to determine the appropriate discipline to impose. See In re Disciplinary Proceedings Against Reitz, 2005 WI 39, ¶74, 279 Wis. 2d 550, 694 N.W.2d 894. The seriousness of Attorney Trudgeon's misconduct with respect to the 56 violations involving 13 clients demonstrates the need to revoke his law license to protect the public, courts, and legal system from the repetition of misconduct, as well as to impress upon Attorney Trudgeon the seriousness of his misconduct and deter other attorneys from engaging in misconduct."
