WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Sarah Clement

Case No.: 2018 WI 69

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings

We review the report of Referee John Nicholas Schweitzer recommending that Attorney Sarah Clemment be declared in default, concluding that Attorney Clemment engaged in professional misconduct, and recommending that she be publicly reprimanded. Attorney Clemment failed to present a defense despite being given the opportunity to do so, and she did not oppose the Office of Lawyer Regulation’s (OLR) motion for default. Accordingly, we declare her to be in default. We also conclude that a public reprimand is an appropriate sanction for her misconduct. We further agree with the referee that Attorney Clemment should be required to make restitution in the amount of $5,000, and the full costs of the proceeding, which are $802.19 as of April 12, 2018, should be assessed against her.
