The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday publicly reprimanded Glendale attorney Vladimir Gorokhovsky for professional misconduct.
The Office of Lawyer Regulation said Gorokhovsky, of Gorokhovsky Law Office LLC, violated numerous Wisconsin Supreme Court rules in the course of representing a man convicted of two misdemeanor charges and one felony charge. The OLR filed an eight-count complaint in October 2010 alleging Gorokhovsky:
In his response to the OLR’s complaint, Gorokhovsky denied violating state Supreme Court rules. He objected to the referee’s recommendation that he be made to pay costs of the proceedings, calling them “excessive.” He said a medical condition and divorce prevent him from paying the full cost of the proceeding.
State justices ordered Gorokhovsky to pay the costs of the proceeding; he has 60 days to do so.
The state Supreme Court privately reprimanded Gorokhovsky in 2009, as well, for ethics violations concerning attorney’s fees, trust accounts and cooperation with an OLR investigation.
