Heading: Petitioner's Disbarment [2]

Text: Petitioner entered into a stipulation, agreement and conditional admission of misconduct with the People, and the Colorado Supreme Court accepted it on February 16, 1999. In the stipulation, Petitioner agreed that he knowingly misappropriated funds of various clients without their knowledge or consent, falsified bank records supplied to the People, continued to practice law while under suspension without informing his law partner, his clients, opposing parties, or the court, and failed to keep a client informed about the status of her case and neglected the case. The Colorado Supreme Court relied on its own case law and ABA Standard 4.11 and disbarred Petitioner from the practice of law. They also ordered him to pay costs in the amount of $2,683.25 within thirty days. Petitioner paid these costs on or about April 18, 2008. [3]
