People v. Coulter. 13PDJ003. January 16, 2013. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Nancy Elizabeth Coulter (Attorney Registration Number 21601) for two years, with reinstatement conditions to include restitution, effective January 16, 2013. In one matter, Coulter appeared in court smelling of alcohol, and in five others, she failed to appear in court on behalf of her clients. Coulter did not properly advance several clients’ cases, failed to communicate with them, failed to return client files, failed to communicate the basis for her fees in writing, and failed to render services for which a client had paid. Coulter’s misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(a)(3), 1.5(b), 1.15(a) and (b), 1.16(d), 3.2, 3.4(c), and 8.4(d).
