Listen to this articleThe Wisconsin Supreme Court will decide next week if a former Kenosha lawyer accused of violating more than a dozen attorney-ethics rules will lose his license for nine months.
The court is scheduled to release its opinion in an Office of Lawyer Regulation case against Ricardo Perez on Tuesday. The OLR filed a complaint against Perez in March, alleging he had broken state attorney-ethics rules 21 times.
The complaint said Perez lied to clients, wouldn’t respond to their communications, failed to take action on their claims and wouldn’t give them case files.
The OLR is asking the Supreme Court to suspend Perez’s license for nine months. Follow @WLJReporter
