Text: ¶ 59. By providing legal advice to Gall while his license was suspended, Sherry violated a statute, supreme court rule, supreme court order or supreme court decision regulating the conduct of lawyers, SCR 31.10, which prohibits the practice of law while the lawyer's state bar membership is suspended for non-compliance with CLE requirements, in violation of SCR 20:8.4(f). ¶ 60. As noted, Sherry has now stipulated to these 21 counts of misconduct as alleged by the OLR in its complaint. He admits the facts and the misconduct as alleged and agrees with the OLR that a nine-month suspension of his license to practice law in this state is an appropriate sanction for that misconduct. He also agrees with the OLR that he should make restitution to Mohamad Khan in the amount of $102, and to Jessica Gall in the amount of $450. ¶ 61. We approve the stipulation and determine that the seriousness of Attorney Sherry's misconduct warrants the suspension of his license to practice law for nine months. Sherry's admitted acts are serious violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct governing lawyers in this state. We also agree that Sherry should make restitution in the stipulated amounts. ¶ 62. IT IS ORDERED that the license of Robert L. Sherry to practice law in Wisconsin is suspended for period of nine months, effective the date of this order. ¶ 63. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Robert L. Sherry comply with the provisions of SCR 22.26 concerning the duties of a person whose license to practice law in Wisconsin has been suspended. ¶ 64. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within 60 days of the date of this order, Robert L. Sherry shall make restitution in the amount of $102 to Mohamad Khan and in the amount of $450 to Jessica Gall. If that restitution is not paid within 60 days, and absent a showing to this court of his inability to pay such restitution within that time, the license of Robert L. Sherry to practice law in this state shall remain suspended until further order of this court. ¶ 65. PATIENCE D. ROGGENSACK, J., did not participate.
