Supreme Court of Colorado
Timothy J. Essling v. the People of the State of Colorado
February 28, 2014327 P.3d 904
Summary
The Hearing Board denied Timothy J. Essling’s petition for reinstatement because he failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that he had substantially complied with disciplinary orders, been rehabilitated, or remained fit to practice law. His delayed compliance, failure to acknowledge responsibility for the misconduct, lack of demonstrated improvement in organizational and communication skills, and insufficient continuing legal education supported the denial. The decision also assessed costs against him, limited to his $500 cost deposit.
