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.
