County attorney loses law license indefinitely
Iowa Supreme Court suspends Jackson County Attorney Carl H. Miller indefinitely for neglecting two estates and failing to respond to ethics letters. The 5-0 ruling cites missed court deadlines for Dorcas L. Hoff and Leo A. Weber, and notes Miller’s alcoholism but does not excuse the mishandling. He faces no reinstatement for three months and must prove orderly office practices before any return.
