People v. Senseney. 13PDJ038. May 3, 2013. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended David A. Senseney (Attorney Registration Number 03928) from the practice of law for six months, all stayed upon the successful completion of a one-year period of probation, effective May 1, 2013. Senseney was hired to represent a client regarding her immigration status. Senseney filed an I-360 petition with the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) on behalf of his client on June 28, 2007. On November 16, 2009, Senseney was informed by USCIS that his client needed to provide additional information. Senseney failed to submit this information by the deadline, and on August 2, 2010, his client’s I-360 petition was denied and deemed abandoned. Senseney refused to fully refund his client her legal fees and instead withdrew from her representation. Senseney’s misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violates Colo. RPC 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5(a) and (b).
