The Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Discipline Board suspended the license of Marc Casey, a Dyersville lawyer, for two months for several ethical violations.
The charges stem from Casey's representation of clients in a 2001 personal injury case and a 2004 probate matter.
In the estate case, Casey told the district court he would have it resolved in 30 days but delayed so long that the court certified the matter as delinquent, according to the ruling. Casey did not take care of costs and documentation regarding a bequest, the ruling says. The discipline board tried to reach Casey about that case, but Casey did not respond. The board found many errors in Casey's work and discovered that Casey had taken his entire fee for the probate matter and placed it in his firms account before the final report was filed.

Two months isn't much.
