On Friday, November 1, 2024, the Supreme Court of Indiana issued an order converting the suspension of attorney James K. Wisco from the practice of law to an indefinite suspension.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of James K. Wisco,” with case no. 24S-DI-87, 24S-DI-88, 24S-DI-89.
The court’s order stated that Wisco had been previously suspended on June 19, 2024, for failing to cooperate with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission’s investigations into three separate grievances filed against him. Despite being ordered to show cause for his noncooperation, Wisco did not adequately respond to the court.
According to the order, more than 90 days had passed since Wisco was initially suspended due to his lack of cooperation with the disciplinary process. As a result, the court concluded that Wisco’s suspension should be converted to an indefinite suspension from the practice of law, effective immediately.
The court ordered Wisco to fulfill the continuing duties of a suspended attorney under the state’s Admission and Discipline Rules. To be readmitted to the practice of law in Indiana, Wisco must cure the causes of all suspensions in effect and successfully petition the Supreme Court for reinstatement.
The Disposition states:
“IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondent’s current suspension from the practice of law for failure to cooperate with the disciplinary process is converted to an indefinite suspension, effective Immediately. Respondent is ordered to fulfill the continuing duties of a suspended attorney under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26).”
According to avvo.com, Mr. Wisco is a government attorney in Martinsville, Indiana. He acquired his law license in Indiana in 2012.
