State v. Markham

198 N.W.2d 354, 55 Wis. 2d 315, 1972 Wisc. LEXIS 997

Opinion

Per Curiam.

In this original action, commenced in this court upon complaint of the State Board of Bar Commissioners, seeking discipline of Spencer A. Markham, attorney, there is nothing to add to the excellent report of the referee, Judge C. Bernard Dillett. Review of the record amply supports the findings of fact made by the referee, including his conclusion that in this involved series of real estate transactions, unprofitable to all involved, including counsel, there is “. . . no reason to doubt his [the attorney complained against] good faith or honesty in doing what he could to carry it out.” The recommendation of the referee that the charges be dismissed is approved and accepted. The complaint is dismissed.
