Group Files Complaints Against Two WI Attorneys Over 2020 Election Challenges

Thursday, September 1st, 2022 -- 2:00 PM

(Bob Hague, WRN) Two attorneys from Wisconsin are among 15 lawyers named in ethics complaints, in connection with challenges to the 2020 presidential election.

The 65 Project, named after the number of lawsuits filed by supporters of former President Donald Trump, filed the complaints Wednesday with the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation against Michael Dean of Brookfield and Daniel Eastman of Mequon.

The group’s managing director told the Journal Sentinel the intent is to show there are “professional consequences” for bringing litigation based on unfounded claims. The Office of Lawyer Regulation does not confirm receipt of complaints, or its investigations unless and until it files an action.
