From Minnesota To Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Supreme Court imposed a 30-day reciprocal suspension as a result of the same sanction in Minnesota.

The attorney had a record of prior Wisconsin discipline based on Minnesota sanctions:

Attorney N.’s professional disciplinary history in Wisconsin consists of a 90-day suspension imposed in 2006, reciprocal to a similar suspension in Minnesota.  Attorney N.’s misconduct in that case involved a consensual sexual relationship with a client; entering into multiple business transactions with a client without written disclosure of the potential conflicts and without providing for fair and reasonable terms for his client; failing to timely appeal a final judgment and subsequently filing motions previously decided by the unappealed judgment; and failing to notify the OLR of the Minnesota suspension.

Here:

…the Supreme Court of Minnesota suspended Attorney N.’s Minnesota law license for 30 days for undertaking representation despite a conflict of interest; engaging in inappropriate conduct toward opposing counsel; and bringing a claim in bad faith and for an improper purpose.
