Respondent recklessly neglected five client matters, failed to adequately communicate with two of his clients, and engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice when his conduct delayed the outcomes in legal proceedings. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(a), 1.4(b), and 8.4(d).
