Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended John D. Marshall (Attorney Registration No. 16094) from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day, all but ninety days stayed upon the successful completion of a two-year period of probation with conditions, effective February 22, 2007. On July 17, 2006, Respondent pled guilty to a reduced charge of harassment, C.R.S. 18-9-111(1)(a) a Class 3 misdemeanor involving domestic violence. The incident arose out of allegations that Respondent, while drunk, assaulted his wife in January 2006. Respondent was sentenced to probation with domestic violence treatment and a suspended forty-five day jail sentence. He was also ordered not to consume alcohol. Respondent's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 8.4(b).
