Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.
Public Reprimand issued in WI, 2010
updated on 11/11/2015Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
Carol’s comment:
“License was neither revoked nor suspended. Noted in the decision was the observation by the referee that many "of the problems that Attorney Brown got into in this case were as a direct result of the contentiousness between various interests in the tribe and the instability of the tribal government." The referee explicitly considered this a mitigating factor.”
