BigLaw Partner Leaves Firm After Reprimand for DWI and Alleged Assault

The ABA Journal reports that a partner at Husch Blackwell in Madison, Wisconsin, has left the law firm after receiving a reprimand for allegedly punching a bar manager and driving while intoxicated.

The firm announced that Jeffrey McIntyre had withdrawn from the firm in wake of the state supreme court’s reprimand. “Obviously, our firm does not condone or tolerate his behavior,” the firm said in a statement.

The reprimand cites an incident that happened in the early-morning hours of Christmas 2017, in which a manager of a bar in Madison told police that McIntyre was with two women who were not happy that the bar was closing. The manager said the situation escalated, with McIntyre punching him in the nose.

McIntyre also pleaded guilty to a driving while intoxicated charge in 2018.
