WI Supreme Court
Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Jeffrey P. White
Case No.: 2019 WI 95
Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Hearing – Reciprocal Discipline
This is a reciprocal discipline matter. On August 7, 2019, the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) filed a two-count complaint against Attorney Jeffrey P. White. Count one alleged that by virtue of Attorney White’s recent nine-month license suspension and public reprimand by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, Attorney White should be subject to reciprocal discipline in Wisconsin pursuant to Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 22.22. Count two alleged that by failing to notify the OLR of his discipline in Maine within 20 days of its effective date, Attorney White violated SCR 22.22(1). After service of the complaint, the parties stipulated to the imposition of a reciprocal nine-month suspension. We approve the stipulation, and we therefore order a nine-month suspension of Attorney White’s Wisconsin law license.
