No. 08PDJ063 (consolidated with 08PDJ094). People v. Martin.07/01/2009. Attorney Disbarred.
Following a default sanctions hearing pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5(b), the PDJ disbarred Timothy John Martin, attorney registration number 09083, from the practice of law. Disbarment was effective August 1, 2009.
