Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1995.

Reprimand issued in IA, 1995

updated on 05/30/2013

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.

James’s comment:

“The reprimand was for failure to withdraw as counsel in a litigated matter where I should have been a witness. I had created the documents for the transaction that was the subject of the litigation and acted as trial counsel to uphold the validity of the matter.”
