Oh Deere
Attorney Cameron Davidson billed his client, Deere & Co., makers of John Deere farm equipment, for $2,800 in “miscellaneous costs” and “miscellaneous attorneys’ fees,” Iowa bar officials said. But in an official reprimand, the officials said the $2,800 was actually three court-imposed sanctions against Davidson — for “lack of diligence and communication” on the lawyer’s part. The bar officials were especially concerned that Davidson had failed to communicate the nature of the sanctions to his client.
