Sandpoint lawyer loses license for year

A Sandpoint attorney’s license to practice law is being suspended for a year after he pleaded guilty to evidence tampering in a 2014 drug case in Alaska, according to the Idaho State Bar.

The Idaho Supreme Court found that Jeremy Featherston violated the bar’s rules of professional conduct by committing a criminal act that reflects adversely on a lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness and fitness as a lawyer.

The high court further ruled that Featherston engaged in conduct that was prejudicial to the administration of justice, according to the supreme court’s May 30 disciplinary order.

The misconduct dates back to 2014, when Featherston’s former brother-in-law was arrested in Alaska on drug charges/ Keith Kinnaird , Bee. More here.
