People v. Daniel E. Olsen. 17PDJ019. April 3, 2017. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ conditional admission of misconduct in this reciprocal discipline matter and publicly censured Daniel E. Olsen (attorney registration number 20934), effective April 3, 2017.
On April 13, 2016, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin publicly reprimanded Olsen based on two separate matters. In the first, Olsen pleaded no contest to two counts of reckless driving, an unclassified misdemeanor. Those convictions stemmed from an automobile accident in which Olsen—while driving with a suspended driver’s license—made a left turn into an oncoming vehicle. Olsen then failed to timely report his convictions to Wisconsin disciplinary authorities, as he was required to do.
In the second matter, Olsen practiced law while his law license was administratively suspended for failure to comply with Wisconsin continuing legal education requirements.
Olsen’s misconduct constitutes grounds for reciprocal discipline under C.R.C.P. 251.5 and 251.21, which calls for imposition of the same discipline as that imposed in Wisconsin.
