Kenosha County District Attorney Xavier Solis Suspended From Practicing Law

A Supreme Court Office of Lawyer Regulation memo says Solis failed to cooperate with OLR probes, a move that bars him from prosecuting and has led his deputy to run daily operations.

Overview

  • The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s Office of Lawyer Regulation issued a memo saying Solis was suspended for willfully failing to cooperate with one or more OLR investigations into alleged misconduct.
  • The memo did not describe the underlying allegations that prompted the OLR inquiries.
  • State rules require district attorneys to hold an active law license, so the suspension prevents Solis from practicing law or carrying out prosecutorial duties.
  • An office statement says Deputy District Attorney Rosa Delgado is overseeing day-to-day operations and will manage or reassign Solis’ caseload until further direction is given.
  • Officials say formal next steps remain unclear and could include further OLR proceedings, court or Supreme Court action, or directives from state authorities about Solis’ official status.
