People v. Zodrow. 08PDJ103. June 10, 2009. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended John Joseph Zodrow (Attorney Registration No. 22706) from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day, with conditions of reinstatement, effective August 15, 2009. Respondent entered into a real estate transaction wherein he had interest in real property. However, he failed to report both his interest in real property as part of his assets and his monthly obligation under a related promissory note during a bankruptcy proceeding. Furthermore, Respondent did not list a malpractice civil litigation he was involved in on his Statement of Financial Affairs. He also falsely testified that he had no money in his law office, but that was incorrect because his law firm had received hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last quarter of 2005. Respondent’s misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 3.3(a)(1), 8.4(c), and 3.4(c).
