STATE  OF  WISCONSIN                                                          :              IN  SUPREME  COURT
In  the  Matter  of  Disciplinary  Proceedings
Against  Scott  H.  Fisher,  Attorney  at  Law:
Office  of  Lawyer  Regulation,                                               FILED
Complainant,
JUN  8,  2010
v.
David R. Schanker
Clerk of Supreme Court
Scott  H.  Fisher,
Respondent.
ATTORNEY     disciplinary     proceeding.    Attorney's     license
revoked.
¶1    PER  CURIAM.      We  review  the  report  of  Referee  James  W.
Mohr,  Jr.,  recommending  that  Attorney  Scott  H.  Fisher's  license
to   practice   law   in   Wisconsin   be   revoked   and   that   he   pay
restitution,  along  with  the  costs  of  this  proceeding,  following
his  default  to  the  complaint  filed  by  the  Office  of  Lawyer
Regulation  (OLR).
¶2    We  approve  and  adopt  the  referee's  findings  of  fact
and  conclusions  of  law  and  revoke  Attorney  Fisher's  license  to




No.                                                                           2009AP2522-D
practice  law  in  this  state.     We  order  Attorney  Fisher  to  pay
restitution  and  costs.
¶3    Attorney   Fisher   was   admitted   to   practice   law   in
Wisconsin  in  2006.    He  has  not  been  previously  disciplined.    His
law  license  was  temporarily  suspended  effective  April  14,  2009,
for   failure   to   cooperate   with   the   OLR   investigation.            His
temporary  license  suspension  remains  in  effect.
¶4    On  October  2,  2009,  the  OLR  filed  a  complaint  alleging
55  counts  of  professional  misconduct  arising  from  ten  separate
client  matters  and  seeking  revocation  of  Attorney  Fisher's  law
license.                                                                      The   Waukesha   County   sheriff's   department   served
Attorney  Fisher  with  a  copy  of  the  complaint  on  October              24,
2009.    Attorney  Fisher  has  not  responded  to  the  complaint.
¶5    On  February  9,  2010,  the  OLR  moved  for  a  determination
that  Attorney  Fisher  was  in  default  for  not  timely  answering  the
complaint.                                                                    The   referee   found   that   Attorney   Fisher   had   not
answered  or  otherwise  responded  to  the  complaint.    The  referee's
attempts  to  correspond  with  Attorney  Fisher,  by  using  the  last
address   Attorney   Fisher   had   filed   with   the   State   Bar   of
Wisconsin  as  well  as  the  address  where  Attorney  Fisher  had  been
served,  were  unsuccessful.     All  letters  addressed  to  Attorney
Fisher   at   either   address   were   returned   as   undeliverable   and
unable  to  be  forwarded.     The  referee  granted  the  OLR's  motion
for  default  judgment  against  Attorney  Fisher.
¶6    On  March                                                               3,                                                             2010,  the  referee  filed  his  report  and
recommendation.                                                                                                                              Accepting   the   complaint's   allegations   as
proven,   the   referee   concluded   Attorney   Fisher   had   committed
2




No.                                                                             2009AP2522-D
professional  misconduct  as  alleged  in  each  of  the                        55  counts  of
the  complaint.    Counts  1  through  6  arise  from  Attorney  Fisher's
misconduct  representing  Mr.  and  Mrs.  K.,  who  retained  Attorney
Fisher  to  represent  them  in  a  bankruptcy  action  in  August  2008.
They   paid   Attorney   Fisher                                                 $500   of   the   total   $1,300   fee
contemplated  in  the  retainer  agreement.     After  Attorney  Fisher
failed   to   return   Mr.   K.'s   phone   calls,   a   receptionist   at
Attorney  Fisher's  office  informed  Mr.  K.  that  Attorney  Fisher
had  disappeared  without  notifying  his  clients.    Attorney  Fisher
did  not  return  Mr.  and  Mrs.  K.'s  fees.
¶7    According  to  two  attorneys  who  had  shared  an  office
with  Attorney  Fisher,  Attorney  Fisher  abandoned  his  law  practice
as  of  October  20,  2008,  when  he  had  not  been  in  his  office  for
four  weeks.    Attorney  Fisher  left  behind  a  journal  which  stated
that  he  was  "essentially  abandoning  his  life  as  he  knew  it."
The  OLR  received  information  confirming  that  Attorney  Fisher  had
abandoned  his  law  practice,  left  the  United  States,  and  had
acknowledged  taking  unearned  money  from  his  clients.     Further
attempts     to     contact     Attorney     Fisher     by     e-mail,     by
correspondence,  and  by  service  of  process  were  unsuccessful.
¶8    The  referee  concluded  that  Attorney  Fisher  committed
the   following   six   counts   of   misconduct   with   respect   to   his
representation  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  K.:
[Count                                                                          1]    By                  entering       into   a   legal
representation    agreement    with    his    clients    on
August  18,  2008,  which  stated,  "If  Scott  Fisher  is  not
available,  another  attorney  from  the  firm  will  appear
with  you  at  the  meeting  of  creditors  in  your  case,"

property  to  which  the  client  is  entitled  and  refunding
any  advance  payment  of  fee  or  expense  that  has  not

Referee  Mohr  found:
This  case  portrays  extremely  troublesome  conduct
on  the  part  of  an  attorney  admitted  to  practice  for
only  a  few  years.     Not  only  did  he  take  fees  from
clients  under  false  pretenses,  he  totally  abandoned
his    responsibilities    toward    those    clients    and
10  SCR                                                                     20:1.5(b)(3)  states,  "A  lawyer  shall  promptly  respond
to   a   client's   request   for   information   concerning   fees   and
expenses."

absconded  with  the  money.     He  has  not  cooperated  at
all  with  the  investigation  or  prosecution  of  these
proceedings  against  him.     The  evidence  suggests  that
Attorney  Fisher  has  left  the  country.    The  Referee  and
counsel   for   OLR   are   simply   unable   to   locate   him.
Although   he   has   no   prior   disciplinary   record,   his
actions  are  egregious  and  absolutely  unacceptable.
¶18   The  referee  recommended  Attorney  Fisher's  license  to
practice   law   in   this   state   be   revoked   and   that   he   pay
restitution  totaling  $9,001  to  nine  clients,  as  follows:
Mr.  and  Mrs.  K.                                                            $                                                            500

12  SCR  22.17(2)  provides  as  follows:
If  no  appeal  is  filed  timely,  the  supreme  court
shall  review  the  referee's  report;  adopt,  reject  or
modify   the   referee's   findings   and   conclusions   or
remand   the   matter   to   the   referee   for   additional
