In the Matter of Disciplinary Proceedings Against Trewin

¶ 1. Attorney Michael G. Trewin has appealed from a referee's report concluding that he engaged in professional misconduct and recommending that his license to practice law in Wisconsin be suspended for a period of five months.

¶ 2. We conclude that the referee's findings of fact are supported by satisfactory and convincing evidence. We further determine that the seriousness of Attorney Trewin's misconduct warrants the suspension of his *120license to practice law for a period of five months. We also agree with the referee that all costs of the proceeding should be assessed against Attorney Trewin.
