Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Jerry E. Cardwell (Attorney Registration No. 12743) for a period of one year and one day, all but six months stayed upon the successful completion of a two-year period of probation with conditions, effective May 27, 2011. Cardwell failed to properly safeguard client and third-party funds and failed to promptly deliver to a third party funds he owed that party. His misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.15(a) and 1.15(b).
