WAUKESHA - An attorney who got behind in her workload and forged
documents in three probate cases she was working on was fined $3,975
including costs Tuesday.
Amy Acker, 38, of Waukesha, pleaded no contest to three
misdemeanor charges of forgery in a plea agreement that saw the
charges against her, issued almost two years ago, reduced from
felonies.
As part of the case, Acker entered into a deferred prosecution
agreement regarding three other potential counts of forgery that
were not charged. Should Acker follow the terms of the two-year
deferred prosecution agreement - which call for her to continue her
mental health treatment, not practice law until May 2010 and avoid
any new law violations - those charges will be dismissed.
