Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2000.

Reprimand issued in IA, 2000

updated on 07/17/2017

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Robert’s comment:

“Fees Issue. Did not concern Lawyer Quality or Capability.”
