The People of the State of Colorado, Complainant v. Alison Maynard, Respondent

May 27, 2010275 P.3d 780

Summary

The Hearing Board found that Alison Maynard engaged in deceitful conduct by attempting to secretly obtain additional attorney's fees from the opposing parties while concealing the arrangement from her former clients. It also found that she prejudiced the administration of justice by threatening subpoenaed witnesses with civil suits to deter their testimony. The Board imposed a suspension of one year and one day, conditioned reinstatement on an independent medical examination, and ordered payment of proceeding costs.
