Attorney Thomas Awen of Milwaukee; serial thief
The state of Wisconsin presented Thomas J. Awen with a law license in 1988 after he graduated from Marquette University Law School.
The Office of Lawyer Registration (OLR) found Thomas guilty of the following misconduct.
During the time of his misconduct, most of Tom’s law practice involved appointments from the State Public Defender (SPD). An audit of Tom’s billing statements disclosed that he billed and was paid for many hours of work that either he had not performed or that he had mischaracterized.
In numerous cases Tom billed the SPD for the following:
Because Attorney Misfits in Wisconsin are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else, Thomas was never criminally indicted for fraud and/or grand theft.
As a consequence of her misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Wisconsin Supreme
Court punished Thomas by gifting him with a complimentary 90-day suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. September 2012) Thomas practices with the Law Offices of Thomas J. Awen at 740 North Plankinton Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
