People v. Webster. 10PDJ016. August 2, 2010. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Michael R. Webster (Attorney Registration No. 06892) from the practice of law for a period of six months, all but ninety days stayed upon the successful completion of a two-year period of probation, effective September 2, 2010. Respondent agreed to represent a client in a real estate matter and then knowingly failed to provide her with diligent representation or adequately communicate with her. He also failed to respond to his client’s request to withdraw from the matter. The court entered a default judgment against the client but later set it aside after a new attorney entered his appearance. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(a), 1.16(a), and 8.4(d).
