Respondent recklessly violated his duty to treat his clients honestly when he requested and received reimbursement for identical business trip expenses by more than one client and denied his clients the use of these funds for a period of time. Respondent made good faith efforts to pay restitution to his clients. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 8.4(c).
