People v. Price. 12PDJ002, consolidated with 12PDJ007 and 12PDJ070. January 17, 2013. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended George C. Price (Attorney Registration Number 10652) for two years and four months, effective January 17, 2013. Price failed to properly wind-up his practice after his suspension in May 2012, failed to provide his clients notice of his suspension, and instead continued to practice law while suspended. Price also disclosed his client’s identity and case information to another law firm without obtaining his client’s consent. Finally, Price failed to provide an accounting to a client before distributing the client’s funds to a third party and failed to disclose his receipt of attorney’s fees to the law firm that employed him, keeping all of those fees for himself without the law firm’s permission. Price’s misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.4(a) and (b), 1.6(a), 1.15(a) and (c), 3.3(a)(1), 3.4(c), 5.5(a), and 8.4(c).
