WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Patrick M. Cooper

Case No.: 2018 WI 22

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings

We review, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 22.33(3), a report filed by Referee Jonathan V. Goodman, recommending the court reinstate the license of Patrick M. Cooper to practice law in Wisconsin, with conditions. The Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) did not appeal the referee’s recommendation. After careful review of the matter, we agree that Attorney Cooper’s license should be reinstated, with conditions. We also agree with the referee that Attorney Cooper should be required to pay the full costs of this reinstatement proceeding, which are $3,828.81 as of December 20, 2017.
