Supreme Court of Colorado

The People of the State of Colorado, Complainant v. Chad Christopher Soliz, Respondent

June 30, 2010240 P.3d 1277

Summary

The court disbarred Chad Christopher Soliz after finding that he knowingly consumed two clients' unearned retainers, failed to perform the promised legal services diligently, and failed to disclose his suspension in a timely manner. The court concluded that the misconduct caused actual financial injury and that prior comparable discipline and the similarity of the two matters warranted disbarment, restitution, and costs.
