Supreme Court of Iowa
Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Disciplinary Board v. Ta Yu Yang
May 3, 2024
Summary
The court reviewed the grievance commission's recommended sixty-day suspension and independently determined that Yang violated multiple trust-account recordkeeping, withdrawal-notice, and false-reporting requirements. It declined to find a violation based solely on Yang's maintenance of approximately $1,000 of firm funds in the trust account, but concluded that his repeated misconduct and prior admonition warranted a thirty-day suspension. The court also required four hours of trust-accounting continuing legal education before any resumption of practice.
