WI Supreme Court
Case Name: Office of Lawyer Regulation v. Willem James Noorlander
Case No.: 2020 WI 31
Focus: Attorney Disciplinary Hearing
We review a stipulation filed pursuant to Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 22.12 by the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) and Attorney Willem James Noorlander. In the stipulation, Attorney Noorlander admits the misconduct alleged by the OLR and the parties agree to a 60-day suspension of his Wisconsin law license.
We adopt the stipulated facts and conclusions of law. We agree that Attorney Noorlander’s misconduct warrants the suspension of his Wisconsin law license for a period of 60 days. The OLR did not request restitution and we impose no restitution. Initially, the OLR sought costs, but Attorney Noorlander entered into the stipulation prior to the appointment of a referee, so we will not impose the costs of this proceeding on Attorney Noorlander.
