Attorney John Schellpfeffer of Merrill, WI; misogynistic loser

The state of Wisconsin presented John M. Schellpfeffer with a law license in 1992 after he graduated from Northern Illinois University School of Law.

The Office of Lawyer Registration (OLR) found Johnny guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to provide required notices to client in preparing flat-fee agreement
• Failed to hold advanced fees in trust until earned
• Shortly after representing client, Johnny began sending sexually charged messages and memes to her via his phone and Facebook messaging
• Failed to withdraw from representation when required to so act
• Harassed client on the basis of her sex
• Invited client to meet him for drinks knowing she was ordered by court not to consume alcohol

Examples of Johnny’s sexist messages to his client were as follows.

• “sooo … I’m going to be looking for fun. Was wondering the same of you.”
• “What did the Easter egg say to the boiling water? It’s gonna take a while to get me hard. I just got laid by some chick.”
• Noted new love in his life was his “Harley” and that she likes to be “ridden hard”
• Told her she “should meet him at five” for an appointment and that “wanna see you when you’re all dolled up ….”
• In arranging appointment, said to the client, “Wear something sexy tho.”

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Wisconsin Supreme Court punished Johnny by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand. 

As we speak (ca. November 2018), Johnny practices with the Schellpfeffer Law Office LLC at West 5087 Sunset Drive in Merrill, Wisconsin.
