People v. Glenn W. Gregory. 16PDJ005. February 7, 2018. On February 7, 2018, the Presiding Disciplinary Judge issued an order granting judgment on the pleadings and disbarred Glenn W. Gregory (attorney registration number 17581) from the practice of law. The disbarment took effect March 14, 2018.
Gregory served as co-trustee of a trust that had been created for the benefit of his step-grandmother. In an Adams County probate matter, a Special Conservator was appointed in 2015 to audit the trust. The Special Conservator found in a preliminary report that Gregory improperly distributed $1,397,351.78 in payments and transfers from the trust. Based on that matter, a jury in 2017 found Gregory guilty of thirteen criminal counts: five counts of at-risk theft—$500.00 or more, a class-three felony; five counts of theft— $20,000.00 or more, a class-three felony; two counts of theft—$15,000.00 or more, a class-three felony; and one count of theft—$5,000.00-$20,000.00, a class-five felony. He was sentenced to eight years in the Department of Corrections.
Through this conduct, Gregory violated Colo. RPC 8.4(b) (a lawyer shall not commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects) and C.R.C.P. 251.5(b) (any criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer amounts to grounds for discipline).
