People v. Selvoy Peterson Fillerup. 19PDJ054. December 17, 2019. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ conditional admission of misconduct and publicly censured Selvoy Peterson Fillerup (attorney registration number 43282), effective December 17, 2019.
In one matter, Fillerup delayed returning a client’s original documents for eight months after representation ended because he misplaced the documents. In a second client matter, Fillerup did not return a client’s original wedding photographs after termination of the representation, and to date still has not returned the photographs. Fillerup also failed to respond to the People’s many attempts to contact him during their investigation of the second client matter.
Through this conduct, Fillerup violated Colo. RPC 1.16(d) (a lawyer shall protect a client’s interests upon termination of the representation, including returning any papers and property to which the client is entitled) and Colo. RPC 8.1(b) (a lawyer shall not knowingly fail to respond to a lawful demand for information from a disciplinary authority).
The case file is public per C.R.C.P. 251.31.
