John’s comment:
“This probation has ended. I was licensed in Colorado and I made a mistake on that case in Colorado. The mistake was to help a client who later burned me for trying to help him. Further details can be found on-line or I can explain them fairly easily to anyone concerned. Texas Bar chose to give a recipricol suspension in Texas; it was not a separate incident. My reviews, across multiple sites, are always 4 or mostly 5 stars. I am committed to being an aggressive advocate for my client.”
Suspension Stayed Placed on Probation issued in CO, 2014
updated on 03/28/2017Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with probation requirements.
