WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Jesse Jon Johansen

Case No.: 2020 WI 32

Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Hearing

We review the report of Referee Robert E. Kinney recommending that the court suspend Attorney Jesse J. Johansen’s license to practice law in Wisconsin for six months. The referee also recommends that Attorney Johansen make restitution and that he be ordered to pay the full costs of this disciplinary proceeding, which are $5,253.95 as of December 23, 2019. The referee issued his report after Attorney Johansen and the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) entered into a stipulation whereby Attorney Johansen admitted to 18 counts of misconduct arising out of four client matters. Neither party has appealed from the referee’s report and recommendation, and we review the matter under Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 22.17(2).

After careful review of the matter, we agree that Attorney Johansen’s professional misconduct warrants a six-month suspension. We also agree that Attorney Johansen should bear the full costs of this proceeding and that he should pay restitution.
