531 N.W.2d 53
IN the MATTER OF DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS AGAINST Joseph A. MALEK, Attorney at Law.
No. 95-0548-D.
Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
Filed April 28, 1995.
PER CURIAM.
Attorney disciplinary proceeding; attorney's license suspended.
This is a review of the stipulation filed pursuant to SCR 21.09(3m)[1] setting forth facts and conclusions of *68 law concerning the professional misconduct of Attorney Joseph A. Malek and specifying discipline to be imposed for it. The court adopts the stipulated facts and conclusions of law and suspends the license of Attorney Malek to practice law in Wisconsin for one year, as he and the Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility stipulated. That license suspension, retroactive to September 23, 1994, is reciprocal to the one-year license suspension imposed on him by the Illinois Supreme Court as discipline for his protracted neglect of a client's probate matter and his failure to complete the probate, which resulted in substantial monetary damages to the client.
Attorney Malek was licensed to practice law in Wisconsin in 1975. He was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1960, has conducted his practice in that state, and currently resides in LaGrange Park, Illinois. In 1990, the court suspended his license to practice law in Wisconsin for two years as discipline reciprocal to the suspension imposed upon him in Illinois in 1989 for professional misconduct. Disciplinary Proceedings Against Malek, 154 Wis. 2d 197, 452 N.W.2d 794 (1989). Attorney Malek has not sought reinstatement of his license and that suspension remains in effect.
*69 Attorney Malek and the Board stipulated that Attorney Malek's neglect to proceed with the probate of an estate in Illinois from March, 1982 to October, 1990, and his failure to close that estate, file an account and make a final distribution of its assets would constitute violations of former SCR 20.32(3),[2] proscribing an attorney's neglect of a client's legal matter, and former SCR 20.35(1)(c),[3] prohibiting an attorney from causing prejudice or damage to a client during the course of representation.
The parties stipulated and the court orders that the one-year license suspension imposed in this proceeding be retroactive to the commencement of the license suspension imposed in Illinois. That retroactivity is based on the fact that Attorney Malek promptly notified the Board of his Illinois suspension and has refrained from the practice of law in Wisconsin since the suspension this court imposed on him in 1990.
IT IS ORDERED that the license of Joseph A. Malek to practice law in Wisconsin is suspended for a period of one year, commencing September 23, 1994, as discipline for professional misconduct.
*70 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Joseph A. Malek comply with the provisions of SCR 22.26 concerning the duties of a person whose license to practice law in Wisconsin has been suspended.
