Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Suspension issued in ID, 2015

updated on 02/24/2016

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.

Reciprocal - Disbarment issued in WA, 2015

updated on 04/21/2025

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

Suspension stayed, probation issued in CA, 2015

updated on 04/21/2025

This means the attorney did something wrong and could have temporarily lost his or her license to practice law. Instead the Hearing Board placed the suspension on hold, monitoring the attorney’s behavior for a period of time.

Resigned - Disciplinary issued in OR, 2014

updated on 10/07/2014

This means the attorney resigned in order to avoid being disbarred. "Disbarment" is the most serious penalty for a lawyer.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in OR, 2014

updated on 02/24/2016

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state also violates the rules for practicing law in Oregon.

Suspension issued in ID, 2014

updated on 01/26/2015

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.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in WA, 2014

updated on 02/24/2016

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

Suspension Stayed with Probation issued in ID, 2013

updated on 03/31/2014

Stayed 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.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in WA, 2013

updated on 01/25/2016

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

Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 1995

updated on 04/12/2012

Private reproval, public disclosure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Karl’s comment:

“Discipline was minor and was for a personal, non-law-related reason.”
