Wisconsin Supreme Court
Civil
Professional Responsibility — revocation
Where attorney Joan M. Boyd cannot defend against 28 allegations of misconduct, revocation is appropriate.
“Having reviewed Attorney Boyd’s petition, the OLR’s unfiled complaint, the OLR’s summary of the matters still being investigated or placed on hold, and the OLR’s report and recommendation in support of the petition, we conclude that the petition for consensual revocation should be granted. It is clear from the descriptions of the various representations that Attorney Boyd has engaged in a pattern of serious professional misconduct that has harmed her clients and that she is currently unwilling or unable to conform her conduct to the standards that are required to practice law in this state.”
Per Curiam.
Attorneys: For Complainant: Spoke, Julie Marie, Madison; For Respondent: Boyd, Joan M., Gillett
