Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1999.
Suspension issued in CO, 1999
updated on 07/11/2018Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
Arthur’s comment:
“I have been aggressively representing clients for 35 years. This case, from the mid 90's, involved a claim by my client against his former attorney. Unfortunately, my firm made a mistake and our client suffered as a result. Fees were refunded. This punishment was accepted. I am not one to make excuses, or to shirk responsibility. Integrity matters.”
