In this reciprocal discipline action from Nebraska, the Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties' Conditional Admission of Misconduct and suspended Respondent Alice L. Rokahr, attorney registration number 16587, from the practice of law for a period of one year, effective July 17, 2004.

RPC 4.1 by knowing making a false or misleading statement of fact or law to a third person while representing a client; Colo. RPC 8.4 (a) in knowingly assisting another to violate the rules of professional misconduct); Colo. RPC 8.4 (c) by engaging in dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation; and Colo. RPC 8.4 (h) by engaging in conduct that adversely reflects on the lawyer's fitness to practice law. Respondent was ordered to pay the costs of the proceeding.
