Professional Responsibility — suspension

Where Attorney Aaron J. Rollins committed a criminal act that reflects adversely on his honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer, failed to notify the OLR of a misdemeanor conviction for grand theft, and failed to cooperate with the OLR’s investigation, a 60-day suspension is appropriate.

“We adopt the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the referee’s report and recommendation. Attorney Rollins’ misconduct with respect to his California criminal conviction, his failure to notify the OLR and the clerk of this court of that conviction, and his failure to cooperate with the OLR’s investigation are serious failings warranting a suspension of his license to practice law in Wisconsin. A 60-day suspension of his law license is appropriate discipline for his professional misconduct.”
