Milwaukee Lawyer Misses Deadline, City Faces $832K Bill | Milwaukee News

A Milwaukee lawyer missed a critical deadline, triggering a default judgment of over $832,000 against the city — and now he’s out. Regal Rexnord sued over unpaid property taxes, and when the city’s lawyer, Kyle Bailey, failed to respond, the judge sided with the plaintiff. Bailey blamed a glitchy new computer system, but the judge called it “argument” without substance. The opposing lawyer called it “sloppy work,” and the judge agreed — saying Bailey’s excuses were “woefully” inadequate. Bailey resigned, citing personal reasons and checking a box indicating he was leaving “in lieu of discharge.” Even after his exit, the city is fighting back, filing a motion to overturn the judgment with a hearing set for August 28.
