WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Michael A. Tjader

Case No.: 2018 WI 96

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings

We review the supplemental report filed by Referee John Nicholas Schweitzer, adopting an amended stipulation entered between the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) and Attorney Michele A. Tjader.

After careful review, we accept the referee’s recommendation and parties’ stipulation wherein Attorney Tjader stipulates that she does not contest six counts of misconduct alleged in the OLR’s complaint and the OLR seeks dismissal of three counts. We agree with the parties and the referee that a public reprimand is an appropriate level of discipline for Attorney Tjader’s misconduct, that restitution is not required, and that Attorney Tjader should be assessed the full costs of the proceeding, which are $3,298.19 as of June 26, 2018.
