The People of the State of Colorado v. Thomas John Braham

Summary

The disciplinary court found that Thomas John Braham abandoned multiple clients, converted client funds, disregarded court orders and disciplinary authorities, and engaged in dishonesty involving bankruptcy filings. Because the misconduct included knowing conversion, abandonment causing serious or potentially serious injury, and substantial aggravating factors, the court imposed disbarment despite limited mitigation. The court also rejected Braham’s argument that alcoholism and disability-related considerations warranted a lesser sanction.
