People v. Sean Patrick Young. 19PDJ024. May 31, 2019. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge granted a motion for entry of default and imposed reciprocal discipline, suspending Sean Patrick Young (attorney registration number 36139) from the practice of law in Colorado for three years, effective July 5, 2019.
This reciprocal discipline case arose out of discipline imposed upon Young in Utah. In August 2018, the Third Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake County, State of Utah, entered an order of discipline suspending Young for a period of three years. This discipline was premised on Young’s consent and settlement agreement, which established that in several client matters he acted without requisite competence, diligence, and communication; that he failed to safekeep client property; that he failed to protect client interests after termination; that he made a misrepresentation to a tribunal; and that he failed to respond to Utah’s disciplinary authorities.
Young’s misconduct constitutes grounds for reciprocal discipline under C.R.C.P. 251.5 and 251.21.
The case file is public per C.R.C.P. 251.31.
