People v. Mazurek, 05PDJ047. June 13, 2005. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ Conditional Admission of Misconduct and suspended Respondent Thaddeus A. Mazurek, Jr. (Registration No. 17319) from the practice of law for a period of nine months, effective July 14, 2005. This proceeding arises out of Respondent’s relationship with a female divorce client whose case involved child custody issues. The relationship became personally close after the representation began, resulting in a conflict. In addition, Respondent misrepresented the client’s financial situation to a court by stating that she was required to pay legal fees which Respondent had actually refunded. Accordingly, Respondent violated Colo. RPC 1.7(b) (representation of a client when the representation may be materially limited by the lawyer’s own interests), 3.3 (failure to be candid with a tribunal), 8.4(c) (conduct involving dishonesty), and 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice). Respondent was ordered to pay the costs incurred in conjunction with this proceeding, and must undergo reinstatement proceedings pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.29(c)-(e).
