The People of the State of Colorado, Complainant v. John Joseph Zodrow, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Respondent's challenge to personal jurisdiction and service of process, concluding that service at his last known address was sufficient and that he waived those defenses by filing an answer without asserting them. After striking Respondent's untimely answer and entering default, the court deemed the well-pleaded allegations admitted and found that Respondent practiced law while suspended, failed to notify clients and opposing counsel of his suspension, and made material misrepresentations. Applying the disciplinary standards and considering substantial aggravation and no mitigation, the court imposed disbarment.
