Authorities this week took computer equipment from the office of a lawyer who provides guardian ad litem services for children at Milwaukee County Children's Court.
Investigators served the search warrant on the office Michael J. Vruno, the chief staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee's office at the Vel R. Phillips Juvenile Justice Center in Wauwatosa, which provides contracted guardian ad litem services to the county.
Vruno, 67, who has worked for Legal Aid for more than 30 years, resigned his position, said Michael Gonring, executive director of the Legal Aid Society.
"We view this as a personnel matter," Gonring said, adding that Vruno has been denied any wrongdoing.
