People v. Clarence. 13PDJ072. September 19, 2013. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Troy Wesley Clarence (Attorney Registration Number 34520) from the practice of law for six months, all but thirty days stayed pending the successful completion of a two‐year period of probation, with conditions, effective September 19, 2013. Even though his license to practice law had been administratively suspended in May 2010, Clarence began representing a client in a trademark matter in December 201o. He accepted over $2,000.00 in fees and placed them directly into his operating account, not his trust account. Clarence continued representing the client when his law license was reinstated in February 2011. That month, Clarence told his client that he had obtained an expedited filing for the client’s requested trademarks, though in fact he had not filed any trademark applications. For approximately the next year and a half, he did not return calls from his client. In mid‐2012, Clarence again assured his client he had filed for the requested trademarks. In fact, he still had filed no trademark applications on the client’s behalf. Clarence’s misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.1, 1.4(a)‐(b), 1.15(a) & (c), 1.16(d), 3.4(c), 5.5(a), and 8.4(c).
