Supreme Court of Colorado
The People of the State of Colorado v. Albert R. Snyder, 41912
April 10, 2018418 P.3d 550
Summary
The court found that Albert R. Snyder committed eight violations of the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct while representing a couple seeking lawful permanent residence for the husband's immigration status. Snyder neglected the immigration matter, failed to communicate material information, practiced while administratively suspended, and failed to maintain fee and trust-account records. Considering the knowing nature of the misconduct, resulting and potential harm, aggravating factors, and absence of mitigation, the court imposed a three-year suspension.
