A Kenosha County Eye review of state BAR records identified 1,844 suspension entries involving 1,724 different Wisconsin-licensed attorneys on nine annual lists issued between 2016 and 2026, including 16 attorneys with Kenosha addresses.

The temporary suspension was procedural and did not determine whether the allegations underlying the agency’s investigations were true. Even Antioch, Illinois, Mayor Scott J.
