Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2013.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in ID, 2013

updated on 05/16/2017

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Idaho.

Drake’s comment:

“Reciprocal Reinstatement. I have never had any issues with the Idaho Bar Association. The only reason for this suspension was due to issues directly with the Washington Bar Association.”

Suspension issued in WA, 2013

updated on 05/16/2017

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Drake’s comment:

“Reinstated without any further issues. In 30 years I have only ever had an issue with the bar association this one time. The suspension had nothing to do with my practice of law or clients, but was rather due to my interaction with the bar association.”
