State ex rel. Counsel for Discipline of Nebraska Supreme Court v. Lopez Wilson

After attorney Wilson (defendant) learned his estranged wife had begun a relationship with former client Moreno, whom he had represented for years without charge as their friendship developed, Wilson threatened to report Moreno's changed job status to immigration authorities and to reopen Moreno's divorce case alleging misstated assets, demanding payment for past legal services in exchange for silence; Moreno obtained a protective order and filed a bar complaint.
