Shapiro entered into an agreement to guarantee a line of credit to his client in exchange for a $66,666.00 fee. When his client passed away, Shapiro provided legal advice and representation to his client’s widow, even though Shapiro and his law firm were creditors of his deceased client’s estate. His misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.8(a)(1) and 1.7(a)(2).
