Order – December 15, 1999 
 
 
 
 
 
99-3068-D 
In the Matter of the Disciplinary Proceedings 
Against 
David J. Moskal, Attorney at Law. 
  
 
On December 1, 1999, David J. Moskal filed a petition 
seeking revocation by consent of his license to practice 
law in Wisconsin pursuant to SCR 21.10(1).  In that 
petition, Attorney Moskal acknowledged that he cannot 
successfully defend himself against professional misconduct 
allegations concerning his misappropriation and conversion 
of funds belonging to clients and to the law firm with 
which he practiced.  The petition also set forth that as a 
result of that misconduct, he was charged with and pleaded 
guilty to three counts of knowingly and intentionally 
devising and executing a scheme to defraud others through 
the U.S. mail, for which he was sentenced to five years in 
prison on each count, concurrent, three years of supervised 
release, 500 hours of community service, restitution of 
$2.75 million to his former law firm, which repaid all of 
his victims, and a $250,000 forfeiture.   
Attorney Moskal was admitted to the Wisconsin bar in 1987. 
 He practiced in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  
The Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility filed a 
report recommending that the petition for revocation be 
granted. 
IT IS ORDERED that the petition is granted and the license 
of David J. Moskal to practice law in Wisconsin is revoked 
by consent, pursuant to SCR 21.10(1), effective the date of 
this order. 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that David J. Moskal comply with the 
provisions of SCR 22.26 concerning the duties of a person 
whose license to practice law in Wisconsin has been 
revoked.
