WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. B.C. Fischer

Case No.: 2019 WI 36

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings

This is a reciprocal discipline matter. On January 14, 2019, the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) filed a complaint and motion pursuant to Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 22.22, requesting this court suspend Attorney B.C. Fischer’s license to practice law in Wisconsin for a period of 90 days, and direct him to comply with the terms of a Minnesota court order, as reciprocal discipline identical to that imposed by the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Attorney Fischer and the OLR executed a stipulation, in which Attorney Fischer agrees that he should be suspended for a period of 90 days as discipline reciprocal to that imposed by the Supreme Court of Minnesota, and directed to comply with the conditions imposed by the Minnesota court. Upon our review, we accept the stipulation and we suspend Attorney Fischer’s license to practice law in Wisconsin for a period of 90 days and order him to abide by the terms imposed by the Supreme Court of Minnesota. The OLR does not seek costs. Because the parties were able to resolve this matter without appointment of a referee, no costs will be imposed.
