WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Jeffrey M. Blessinger

Case No.: 2017 WI 107

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings

Attorney Jeffrey M. Blessinger has filed a petition for the consensual revocation of his license to practice law in Wisconsin pursuant to Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 22.19.  Attorney Blessinger’s petition states that he cannot successfully defend against the allegations of professional misconduct arising out of seven separate Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) investigations concerning his conduct. An OLR summary of those investigations and of the potential allegations of professional misconduct is attached to Attorney Blessinger’s petition as Appendix A. Having reviewed Attorney Blessinger’s petition, the OLR’s summary of possible misconduct, and the OLR’s October 31, 2017 written recommendation in support of the petition and restitution, we conclude that the petition for consensual revocation should be granted and that Attorney Blessinger should be required to pay restitution as set forth herein.
