Attorney James Cook of West Des Moines; tax scofflaw

The state of Iowa presented James Raymond Cook with a law license in 1972 after he graduated from Drake University Law School.

The Iowa Supreme Court Disciplinary Board found Jimmy guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to comply with income tax laws for several years
• Filed false certification that income tax return had been filed
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Iowa Supreme Court punished Jimmy by gifting him with a complimentary 90-day suspension of his law license.  

As we speak (ca. January 2015), Jimmy practices at 401 Grand Avenue in West Des Moines, Iowa.
