In the Matter of Disciplinary Proceedings Against Boris Ouchakof

Summary

The Wisconsin Supreme Court granted Boris Ouchakof's petition for consensual revocation of his law license. The court found revocation warranted based on 41 alleged counts of professional misconduct, 12 additional counts under investigation, and Ouchakof's acknowledgment that he could not successfully defend against the allegations. The court also ordered him to pay $3,246.72 in proceeding costs and comply with the duties applicable to revoked attorneys.

Holdings

1. Consensual revocation of Ouchakof's Wisconsin law license was warranted because he acknowledged that he could not successfully defend against the 41 charged counts and the 12 additional counts under investigation, and the allegations were serious and wide-ranging.
2. Ouchakof was required to pay $3,246.72 in costs to the Office of Lawyer Regulation within 60 days of the order.
3. Ouchakof was required to comply with SCR 22.26 concerning the duties of a person whose Wisconsin law license has been revoked.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court should grant Ouchakof's petition for consensual revocation of his Wisconsin law license under SCR 22.19.
2. Whether the seriousness and breadth of the admitted allegations warranted revocation as the maximum available discipline.
3. Whether Ouchakof should be ordered to pay the costs of the disciplinary proceeding and comply with the post-revocation duties in SCR 22.26.
