WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT
ORDER
April 16, 1996
In the Matter of
Disciplinary
Proceedings Against
STANLEY V. WOODARD,
Attorney at Law.
Case No. 96-0884-D
On
March 26, 1996, the Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility filed its
report recommending that the petition of Stanley V. Woodard for the revocation
of his license to practice law be revoked by consent, pursuant to SCR 21.10
(1). In that petition, Mr. Woodard
stated that he cannot successfully defend against misconduct allegations under
investigation by the Board. Those
allegations concern his use of his client trust account to make payments of
personal obligations, his failure to maintain required trust account records,
including his receipt and disbursement of a client's funds, writing checks on
those funds to himself for fees without adequately documenting the purpose of
those transactions, and failing to account to a client for funds he received
and disbursed on the client's behalf.
Attorney Woodard was admitted to the
practice of law in Wisconsin in 1977 and practiced in Madison. His license to practice law is currently
suspended pursuant to the three-year license suspension ordered by the court as
discipline for his professional misconduct.
Disciplinary Proceedings Against Woodard, 183 Wis. 2d 575, 515
N.W.2d 700 (1994).
IT IS ORDERED that the petition is granted
and the license of Stanley V. Woodard to practice law in Wisconsin is revoked,
pursuant to SCR 21.10 (1), effective the date of this order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Stanley V.
Woodard comply with the provisions of SCR 22.26 concerning the duties of a
person whose license to practice law in Wisconsin has been revoked.
