People v. McKendree. 06PDJ065. March 23, 2007. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended John W. McKendree (Attorney Registration No. 01209) from the practice of law for a period of three years, effective March 23, 2007. Respondent has been immediately suspended from the practice of law since August 28, 2006. In 2005, Respondent delegated management of his trust and office accounts to his office assistant, a known convicted felon, and failed to provide oversight over the management of these accounts. As a result, he technically converted funds and caused potential injury in more than one client matter. In mitigation, however, Respondent has never been disciplined in forty-two years of practicing law. Respondent’s misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.15(a), 5.3(a), 5.3(b), and 8.4(c).
