The People of the State of Colorado v. Rebecca Kay Brandt

Summary

The court entered default against the respondent in an attorney-discipline proceeding, deeming the complaint's factual allegations admitted and the rule violations established by clear and convincing evidence. It found that the respondent knowingly converted unearned client fees by depositing them into her operating account, failing to return the unearned balance, and using the funds for personal expenses. Considering the resulting client injury, multiple aggravating factors, and only one mitigating factor, the court imposed disbarment.
