Summaries of Decisions Issuedby the PDJ
No. 10PDJ104. People v. Alexander.04/15/2011. Attorney Suspended.
Following a sanctions hearing, the PDJ suspended William A. Alexander, Jr., attorney registration number 09610, for two years. The suspension was effective May 16, 2011.
In two workers' compensation matters, respondent neglected his clients' cases, which ultimately precluded them from pursuing their legal claims. In addition, he assured one client for almost a year that he had filed an appeal with the court of appeals when he had not. Compounding this deceit, in an attempt to conceal his misrepresentation, respondent produced a falsified letter to the People during the course of its investigation. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.1, 1.3, 1.4(a), 3.4(c) and (d), and 8.4(c) and (d).
No. 10PDJ077. People v. Cabral.02/03/2011. Attorney Suspended.
The hearing board suspended Alfonso S. Cabral, attorney registration number 18328, for three years. The suspension was effective March 6, 2011.
Respondent neglected three client matters, repeatedly failed to communicate with his clients, and engaged in conduct that prejudiced the administration of justice. This misconduct follows five previous instances of discipline for similar misconduct. Respondent's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4, 1.16, and 8.4(d).
