08PDJ005.Office of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Colorado.
March 5, 2008.
Attorney Regulation.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Delwyn Haroldson (Attorney Registration No. 23211) from the practice of law for a period of six months, with the requirement of a petition for reinstatement, effective March 5, 2008. Respondent neglected a client matter and then improperly settled a claim for malpractice liability without advising his former client, in writing, that independent representation is appropriate in such a matter. Further, Respondent engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice by including a requirement that his client waive any right to file a complaint with the People. Finally, Respondent failed to communicate the basis of his fee to his client in writing. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.8(h), 8.4(d), and 1.5(b).
