Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.
Suspension Stayed with Probation issued in ID, 2015
updated on 02/24/2016Stayed suspension/probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. The State also monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
