People v. Nottingham. 12PDJ086. April 10, 2013. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Dana Kirk Nottingham (Attorney Registration Number 31944) for six months, all stayed on the successful completion of a two-year period of probation with conditions, effective April 3, 2013. In two client matters, Nottingham delayed his clients’ immigration proceedings by failing to communicate with them and failing to diligently complete the legal work he was hired to do. Nottingham also mishandled their retainers by failing to properly safeguard those funds. In another client matter, Nottingham delayed the return of a client’s file to successor counsel. His misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(a) and (b), 1.15(a), (b), and (c), and 1.16(d).
