People v. Petersen, No. 02PDJ046. 6.26.02 Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ Conditional Admission of Misconduct and suspended Respondent Cheryl D. Petersen, attorney registration number 23727, from the practice of law for thirty days, all stayed during a one-year period of probation subject to conditions. Respondent represented a client in a dissolution of marriage proceeding. After the matter was resolved, the client requested over several months that respondent return paperwork to him and she failed to do so for approximately a one-year period in violation of Colo. RPC 1.16(d). In another matter, respondent represented a client in a dissolution of marriage proceeding. The court ordered respondent to prepare an order based on the court’s oral findings within a certain time frame. Despite the court’s ordering respondent to submit the draft order several times and finally ordering the respondent to show cause why she should not be held in contempt, respondent failed to comply with the court’s orders and was held in contempt. Respondent’s failing to comply with the court’s order constitutes a violation of Colo. RPC 3.4(c). Respondent’s conduct necessitated further contempt proceedings resulting in a violation of Colo. RPC 8.4(d). Respondent was ordered to pay the costs of the disciplinary proceeding.
