Kenosha County District Attorney Xavier Solis was suspended from practicing law Monday after the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation said he willfully failed to cooperate with one or more investigations into alleged misconduct. A memo issued through the state court system says Solis violated a Wisconsin Supreme Court rule allowing a lawyer’s license to be suspended when the attorney is under investigation and does not meet deadlines to provide requested information. State court system spokesperson Stephen Kelley said the rule violation is the only publicly available information about the investigations. Because Wisconsin law requires district attorneys to hold active law licenses, Solis cannot currently carry out the duties of the elected prosecutor. The suspension’s effect on his long-term status in office was not immediately clear. Under court rules, the suspension may be lifted within 18 months if Solis discloses what occurred and cooperates with the investigation to regulators’ reasonable satisfaction. Deputy District Attorney Rosamaria Delgado is serving as interim leader of the office. In a statement, Delgado said she and the office’s administrative staff would continue managing daily operations. She said she had contacted the state for guidance and would assume management or reassign Solis’ caseload until his license is restored or the Governor’s Office provides further direction. Solis, a Republican, was elected in 2024 after working as a private defense attorney. He had no prior prosecutorial experience when he took office and has faced criticism during his tenure, including challenges filling vacancies after experienced prosecutors left. A judge previously sanctioned Solis over legal briefs prepared with artificial-intelligence assistance that included fabricated case citations. The current suspension concerns his alleged failure to cooperate with lawyer-regulation investigations, and the publicly released memo does not provide additional details about the underlying allegations.
