An Indianapolis attorney has been indefinitely suspended from the practice of law for repeatedly failing to cooperate with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission’s disciplinary process.
The Indiana Supreme Court issued a disciplinary order last week suspending Allison Martinez Wheeler.
Martinez Wheeler had already been previously suspended for failing to cooperate with the commission’s investigation of misconduct allegations against her.
No public documents provided any further details about those allegations. Contact information for Wheeler could not immediately be found on the Indiana Roll of Attorneys.
In the order issued Oct. 30, the high court reported that, on June 18, pursuant to a show cause petition filed by the disciplinary commission, the court ordered Martinez Wheeler to show cause as to why she should not be immediately suspended from the practice of law in this state for failure to cooperate with the commission’s investigation of a grievance filed against her, and why she should not be indefinitely suspended for repeated failures to cooperate.
Martinez Wheeler did not respond and was also non-responsive to a commission filing in September, according to the order.
The Indiana Lawyer reported in August that according to online business records, Wheeler was an attorney for Wheeler Law Firm LLC in Indianapolis.
Records at the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office showed the limited liability corporation had been dissolved.
Wheeler previously was suspended for continuing legal education noncompliance and nonpayment of disciplinary costs. She was ordered in August to fulfill the continuing duties of a suspended attorney, which includes reimbursing the commission $541 for the costs of her proceedings.
