The Wisconsin Supreme Court has reprimanded a former Lincoln County district attorney for sending inappropriate texts to a client. Attorney John Schellpfeffer was representing the victim in divorce proceedings, a paternity case and two child protective services cases when the messages were sent. On one occasion, he texted the client to “wear something sexy” to a meeting. Other sexual jokes and memes Schellpfeffer sent were included in the complaint. He represented the woman from March to December in 2016. He wasn’t serving as a D-A when the questionable communications were sent and he is currently in private practice in Merrill.
