People v. Aschenberg. 07PDJ084. June 19, 2008. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Jesse Chad Aschenberg (Attorney Registration No. 33022) from the practice of law for a period of one year, all but three months stayed upon the successful completion of a two-year period of probation with conditions, effective July 21, 2008. Respondent made a knowingly false statement of material fact to the bankruptcy trustee. Respondent admitted that during the representation of his clients in a bankruptcy proceeding, he knowingly reduced the amount of unsecured debt reported on their Chapter 13 schedule in order to allow his clients to remain under Chapter 13 protection “until the exact amounts of their debts and a proper course of action could be determined.” His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 3.3(a)(1).
