WI Supreme Court
Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Bradford A. Borman
Case No.: 2016AP217-D
Focus: Disciplinary Proceedings
Lawyer receives public reprimand for failure to notify relevant parties of expiration of law license in outside jurisdiction.
“On February 24, 2016, Attorney Borman and the OLR entered into a stipulation whereby Attorney Borman agrees it would be appropriate for this court to impose the level of discipline sought by the OLR director, namely, a public reprimand. The stipulation notes that Attorney Borman’s misconduct in Maine consisted of his failure to file an affidavit demonstrating that he notified relevant parties of the administrative suspension of his Maine law license and his failure to respond to Maine disciplinary authorities. A Bar Grievance Commission panel of the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar found that Attorney Borman violated Maine Bar Rules by: (a) failing to file an affidavit certifying that he provided notice to certain parties after an administrative suspension, in violation of Rule 7.3(i)(2)(B) of the Maine Rules; and (b) failing to respond to Bar Counsel during their investigation of his misconduct, in violation of Rules 8.1(b) and 8.4(a)(d) of the Maine Rules.”
