A northern Wisconsin attorney is facing a two-year suspension for allegedly co-mingling client money with his law office and personal bank accounts to pay for personal expenses.

The Office of Lawyer Regulation, which filed the complaint Thursday against Thomas Mulligan, alleges he used as much as $9,488 from his clients’ trust accounts to pay for personal expenses between 2007 and 2011. It also accuses Mulligan of not entering into proper fee agreements with two clients when he was representing them in criminal and divorce cases.

The eight-count complaint states that Mulligan, through his attorney, admitted to the OLR that he did not keep individual client ledgers.

Mulligan has been disciplined three times since being admitted to the State Bar in 1985. He did not immediately return a message left Tuesday. Follow @eheisigWLJ
