Title: Eugene Pigatti v.
Citation: N/A
Docket Number: 1997AP000110-D
State: Wisconsin
Issuer: Wisconsin Supreme Court
Date: January 22, 1997

SUPREME COURT OF WISCONSIN 
 
 
In the Matter of Disciplinary Proceedings 
Against EUGENE PIGATTI, Attorney at Law   Case No. 97-0110-D 
 
 
On January 10, 1997, the Board of Attorneys Professional 
Responsibility filed a report recommending that the petition of 
Attorney Eugene Pigatti, filed pursuant to SCR 21.10(1), for the 
revocation by consent of his license to practice law in Wisconsin 
be granted. In that petition, Attorney Pigatti acknowledged that 
he cannot 
successfully 
defend allegations 
of 
professional 
misconduct under investigation by the Board concerning his 
conversion to his own use of more than $80,000 belonging to an 
estate in which he was acting as attorney, his disbursement of 
some $80,000 from a testamentary trust contrary to the terms of 
the will creating the trust, and his failure to keep the personal 
representative of the estate informed concerning actions he was 
taking with probate and trust funds.  
 
 
Attorney Pigatti was admitted to practice law in Wisconsin 
in 1985 and practices in Milwaukee. He has not been the subject 
of a prior disciplinary proceeding. The Board’s report asserts 
that he has repaid to the estate the funds, with interest, he had 
converted.  
 
 
IT IS ORDERED that the petition is granted and, effective 
the date of this order, the license of Eugene Pigatti to practice 
law in Wisconsin is revoked, pursuant to SCR 21.10(1).  
 
 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Eugene Pigatti comply with the 
provisions of SCR 22.26 concerning the duties of a person whose 
license to practice law in Wisconsin has been revoked.
