Committee on Professional Ethics and Conduct of the Iowa State Bar Association v. Nadler

Iowa Supreme Court
467 N.W.2d 250 (1991)

Facts

Isadore Nadler (defendant), an Iowa attorney, was hired to represent David Greer Jr., a high-school student, in a personal-injury lawsuit due to injuries suffered as a result of a car crashing into Greer’s school bus. According to an orthopedic surgeon who evaluated Greer’s injuries, Greer would continue to suffer pain and problems in the future as a result of the accident. Sometime later, the car driver’s insurance carrier contacted Nadler, asking for an update on Greer’s medical condition and for an opportunity to meet and discuss settlement options. Nadler did not respond. Two years after the accident, having not heard from Nadler in some time, Greer contacted Nadler for an update on the case. Nadler admitted that he had failed to file the lawsuit and that the two-year statute of limitations had expired. The Committee on Professional Ethics and Conduct of the Iowa State Bar Association (plaintiff) charged Nadler with violating the Iowa Code of Professional Responsibility for Lawyers. After a hearing, the Grievance Commission of the Supreme Court of Iowa (commission) recommended that Nadler be suspended from practice for three years. Nadler sought review of the commission’s recommendations by the Iowa Supreme Court.
