The Wisconsin Supreme Court has publically reprimanded a Fond du lac attorney for not reimbursing clients for unearned fees. In addition to the reprimand the court ordered Philip Shepherd pay restitution and court costs totaling nearly $2000. The court says Shepherd committed ten counts of misconduct. According to a complaint filed with the Office of Lawyer Regulation Shepherd failed to refund fees for unearned legal work in a guardianship case and a farm sale. Shepherd’s law license had previously been suspended by the State Bar of Wisconsin.
