Attorney Joseph Bertogli of Des Moines; ethical goblin

The state of Iowa provided Joseph Gilbert Bertogli with a law license in 1979 after he graduated from Drake University Law School.

The Iowa Supreme Court Disciplinary Counsel found Joey guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to deposit unearned fees in trust account as required
• Failed to maintain proper accountings of withdrawals from trust account
• Misappropriated (stole) client funds
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Iowa Supreme Court punished Joey by gifting him with another complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. November 2014), Joey practices at 300 Walnut Street in Des Moines, Iowa.
