The People of the State of Colorado v. Martin R. Staab

Summary

The court determined that Martin R. Staab violated multiple professional-conduct rules by neglecting two client matters, failing to communicate, making a false statement about a trial date, violating court orders, and failing to cooperate with the disciplinary investigation. Because the misconduct caused actual or potential client injury and was aggravated by a pattern of misconduct, multiple offenses, and Staab's experience, while offset only by his lack of prior discipline, the court imposed a suspension for one year and one day.
