Senseney (Attorney Registration No. 03928) from the practice of law for a period of six months, all but thirty days stayed upon the successful completion of a two-year period of probation, effective April 1, 2011. Respondent failed to diligently represent or adequately communicate with one immigration client and failed to adequately communicate with another immigration client about the scope of his representation and the risks involved in her case, which resulted in the disclosure of her immigration status to immigration officials. Respondent also charged these clients for work not explained to them or disclosed in written fee agreements. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.2(a), 1.3, 1.4, 1.5(a), and 1.5(b).
