Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Todd Eric Wuthrich (Attorney Registration No. 33308) from the practice of law for a period of three years, effective December 4, 2006. Respondent worked in Lindon, Utah for a business called "For Every Body" from June 2000 to July 2001. From June 2001 to February 2002, Respondent fraudulently transferred money from his employer's business accounts into three of his own personal accounts. Respondent became licensed to practice law in Colorado during the course of these fraudulent transfers. On September 3, 2002, Respondent pled guilty to second-degree felony theft in the state of Utah. His felony conviction has since been reduced to a misdemeanor conviction and he completed full restitution on March 8, 2006. 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). He also violated C.R.C.P. 251.20(b) by failing to report his conviction to the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel.
