People v. Montgomery. 07PDJ035. August 22, 2007. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved an Amended Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Cynthia Ann Montgomery (Attorney Registration No. 35628) for a period of six months with the requirement that she petition for reinstatement, effective August 22, 2007. In September 2005, a client hired Respondent to represent her in a dissolution of marriage action. Respondent thereafter recklessly failed to timely serve special interrogatories and requests for protection of documents. She also improperly withdrew funds from her client’s retainer fee before performing any work and failed to provide billing statements. Respondent’s misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5(b) and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(a) & (b), 1.5, 1.15(a) & (c), and 8.4(c).
