People v. Ain

3 Citing cases

  1. People v. Poll

    65 P.3d 483 (Colo. 2003)

    Additionally, Poll's neglect of the clients' matter rising to the level of abandonment confirms that disbarment is warranted. See People v. Ain, 35 P.3d 734, 739 (Colo.O.P.D.J. 2001) (attorney disbarred for abandonment of a client matter in addition to other rule violations); People v. Barbieri, 2000 Colo. Discipl. LEXIS 6, *7(Colo.O.P.D.J. July 6, 2000) (attorney disbarred for, among other rule violations, failing to forward outstanding discovery requests to the client and failing to respond to motions filed by the opposing party); People v. Post, 2000 Colo. Discipl. LEXIS 80, *28, 32 (Colo.O.P.D.J. May 15, 2000) (disbarring attorney for an extensive pattern of neglect, including failure to serve interrogatory responses on opposing counsel until after opposing counsel had filed a motion to compel and failure to appear for trial). The ABA Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions (1991 Supp. 1992) ("ABA Standards") is the guiding authority for selecting the appropriate sanction to impose for lawyer misconduct.

    Holding that in four matters the respondent attorney's knowing failure to provide responses to request for information constituted separate violations of Colo. RPC 8.1(b) based on allegations of knowing conduct set forth in complaint

    The presumed sanction for knowing conversion coupled with abandonment of an attorney's clients also results in disbarment. See People v. Ain, 35 P.3d 734, 739 (Colo. PDJ 2001) (attorney disbarred for abandonment of a client matter, knowingly converting funds, for making misrepresentations and for violation of court order); People v. Wallace, 936 P.2d 1282, 1284 (Colo. 1997) (disbarring lawyer who abandoned clients, causing them serious harm, and knowingly misappropriated client funds); People v. Townshend, 933 P.2d 1327, 1329 (Colo.
