KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County District Attorney Xavier Solis’ Wisconsin law license was reinstated just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, ending a suspension that lasted approximately one day. A Tuesday morning memorandum from the Office of Lawyer Regulation states that, effective Sept. 15, 2026, Solis’ license to practice law in Wisconsin “is reinstated from that suspension.”

When reached by KCE Tuesday morning, Solis provided the following statement:

“I want to sincerely thank the members of our community, as well as the many attorneys and colleagues who reached out to me with words of support and encouragement. Your calls, messages, prayers, and expressions of confidence have meant a great deal to me and my family. I am deeply grateful for the support I have received and remain committed to serving the people of Kenosha County.”

Suspension Followed Missed Deadline
Solis’ license was suspended Monday after he missed a deadline to provide information requested by OLR in connection with multiple complaints the agency was investigating. Under Wisconsin Supreme Court rules, attorneys are required to cooperate with OLR investigations, and the rules provide for an automatic suspension mechanism when an attorney fails to do so. OLR describes the mechanism as an automatic suspension for failure to cooperate.

The suspension was procedural and was not a determination that the allegations underlying the complaints were true.

The OLR investigations include complaints involving former Kenosha County Deputy District Attorney Andrew “Drew” Burgoyne and a matter concerning Solis’ use of artificial intelligence in a court filing.

In the AI matter, Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge David Hughes sanctioned Solis after an AI-assisted filing contained an inaccurate case citation and the use of AI was not disclosed as required by a local court policy. The sanction consisted of Hughes striking the brief from the record. There was no fine or other penalty imposed on Solis.

OLR had requested a large volume of documents and information from Solis in connection with its investigations.

Less than 24 hours after the suspension took effect, his license was reinstated.

OLR Reinstates Solis
The Tuesday memorandum states that Solis’ license had been suspended effective Sept. 14 pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 22.03(4)(c). The new memorandum says that, pursuant to SCR 22.03(4)(d), his license was reinstated effective Tuesday, Sept. 15.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court created the lawyer regulatory system and established the rules governing attorney regulation. OLR operates as part of that system and is responsible for screening and investigating allegations involving Wisconsin attorneys.

OLR’s most recent annual report illustrates how quickly noncooperation suspensions can end. Of 10 attorneys suspended for failing to cooperate during the 2024-25 fiscal year, three were reinstated within six days and another was reinstated within 25 days.

Solis is once again licensed to practice law in Wisconsin and can resume his duties as Kenosha County District Attorney.

How Common Is It for Wisconsin Lawyers To Be Temporarily Suspended for Missing Legal Deadlines?

KENOSHA, Wis. — Temporary suspensions for missing regulatory deadlines are a recurring part of Wisconsin’s lawyer licensing system. A Kenosha County Eye review of state BAR records identified 1,844 suspension entries involving 1,724 different Wisconsin-licensed attorneys on nine annual lists issued between 2016 and 2026, including 16 attorneys with Kenosha

    1. That page has to prove some kind of harassment or stalking that she already being charged with. Over 20 posts in last 23 hours all about the one sueing her. Yet she will cry and say she don’t care about him, and her crazy followers like caputo and Roberts just fend her side. She’s a bully, hypocrite, and obsessed. I had to block the page I cannot fathom who would pay her for psychological help.

        1. Why is anyone looking at her stuff ?
          I get it that when someone is creating “problems” it’s best to pay attention in case it starts to hit close to home but, just start ignoring her and her page or whatever you want to call it.
          People like that just want to see and get attention. Stop the attention because that alone will make her mad and frustrated.
          Good or bad result, you can’t fix people like that







  1. Widespread media coverage regarding a DA that had his license to practice law suspended, and the damage to the man’s reputation will linger for a long time.
    If someone planned what appears to be political lawfare it needs to be exposed.

    1. He himself has never once posted about that mentally ill person, her hate for Kevin carried on over to Xavier, and if it wasn’t him in office, it would be the next person, anybody that associates with Kevin she hates. Constantly hoping on Xavier downfall because her life is shit and she got several cases. Kicking the back of the police car, alcoholic, the one who’s life is in spiral is hers. Seriously who would want her as therapist?!!

  2. Kenosha Exposed has become a full‑blown detriment to the community. It operates as a hate site run by people who seem more interested in chaos than truth. They do not care who they harm, whether someone is involved or not, and the reckless behavior on that platform shows it.
    I’ve read the garbage these feverish extremists publish. This is exactly the kind of conduct that drags society downward. Facts don’t matter to them; only clicks do. It’s pathetic.
    I’ve seen numerous statements that appear legally defamatory, and I sincerely hope the author and others finally put an end to that website’s smear‑factory. They can hate the author all they want, but attacking innocent people simply for knowing KM is sickening. Under their logic, everyone is guilty of something, everyone knows this author.
    The District Attorney has done nothing except follow the law, yet lawless people scream otherwise. It’s absurd.
    As for “Jackie,” she chose to defame the author and is now facing the consequences, criminally and civilly. When she loses, I’m sure the same crowd will claim the jurors and judges are corrupt. And if she’s acquitted, they’ll claim justice has prevailed. What justice, shit talking innocent people. Their narrative never changes: if reality doesn’t fit their fantasy, they attack reality.
    This behavior is toxic, destructive, and long overdue for accountability.
    I’m sorry anyone that post on that site, you must question their mental status in life. Good Grief, talking about overdoing it.

  3. He has been undermined so much !
    If he could only get some strong lawyers who are willing to serve our republic for a couple years as ADA’S. Pay is horrible for quality lawyers but Kenosha is so important bellwether to stop the political winds of Illinois taking over our state.

    Somehow we need to get these attorneys more money to attract good ones.

  7. Jackie acts like a textbook gatekeeper, deleting any comment that challenges her or her circle of yes‑men and women- Mental society of disenfranchised people. She just removed a comment about Kim “Scum Bag” Bruening, which isn’t surprising, considering Kim is the most two‑faced Scum bags in the whole circus of Kenosha Exposed. Bruening and Kmiec are tight. Beware. Anything she touches turn to Sh*t. When you have a list of low life politicians, she’s at the top for backstabbing scum politician.

  9. Jackie, in 2 years, will be a much bigger loser than today, riding fastttttt and hard , it never ends well. Her losing her lawsuits will most likely be the beginning of her downfall. Her mentally ill minions won’t know what to do when she’s in a mental institution writing “I hate Kevin” on every inch of the wall and babbling “Kevin bad, Kevin bad.” That’s Jackie’s future, guaranteed. Her kids cannot be well taken care of with this level of lunacy; hopefully the father is in their lives, otherwise prepare for more Wacky Jacky robots. Very sad that weak‑minded people follow that complete lunacy. I know most are just looking, but she has about a few dozen people who are as ill, if not worse. Somebody should list them, so you know who to avoid in life.

  11. Give the man break nobody wants to be Ada because the pay is so low. He works for the small staff trying to carry out the legal matters. Deadlines are missed all the time in a corporate world and in the public. Every conversation I’ve ever had with the man is been very decent and up front.
    2. That a nut job we all know it.
    3. Kevin you do a great job thank you and keep up the good work

  12. Let’s sort this out.

    Kenosha Exposed went on a vitriolic and slanderous frenzy. At best it was overkill an it was blatantly obvious and did little to enhance its own credibility.

    As for the District Attorney, missing an important mandatory deadline is not insignificant as he found out the hard way when he suffered a summary suspension of his law license. Within 24 hours his license was reinstated when he came into compliance. It was and is a legitimate news story (reported here) and people are free to form their own opinions about it. At some point there may or may not be discipline imposed against him if it was determined what he violated the rules of professional conduct for attorneys. He could also be exonerated of these accusations. Time will tell. At a minimum he did not do himself any favors. Ultimately the voters will decide, as it should be.

  13. One thing i can tell you: those bureaucrats clearly thought it over and reconsidered, canceling the suspension just in time. The Storm their unjustifiably harsh measure was creating would have exposed quite a few of them- both here and in the Capitol. That is why they reconsidered.

  15. She has been ridiculing the local court system. There isn’t a single judge in this county with the courage to stop her. She has violated no-contact orders too many times. It’s unbelievable that she can still get away with it—and even more concerning that she can retain her license and continue practicing.

  16. What gets me about Niccolai and it should be said. She posts allllll day about accountability and the law right? She supports people like berg, caputo, Roberts etc. then she posts about solis and how his rap sheet should not allow him to practice. Your a therapist with a dui, totaled vehicle, arrested on drugs with a gun on yoh and multiple stalking/defamation charges. WTH do you have to talk and why should you be able to practice with that history!!!!!!! Fucken democrats want justice for others but blind eye for themselves!
