WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. James M. Schoenecker

Case No.: 2018 WI 58

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings

Attorney James M. Schoenecker has appealed Referee James W. Mohr Jr.’s recommendation that Attorney Schoenecker’s petition for the reinstatement of his license to practice law in Wisconsin be denied. Upon careful review, we agree with the referee that Attorney Schoenecker has failed to meet his burden of proof to establish the requirements for reinstatement at this time. Accordingly, we accept the referee’s recommendation that the petition for reinstatement be denied. However, we determine that Attorney Schoenecker can again petition for reinstatement six months after the date of this opinion. As is our usual practice, we further conclude that Attorney Schoenecker should be required to pay the full costs of this reinstatement proceeding, which are $6,809.66 as of March 23, 2018.
