People v. Keilly, No. 02PDJ034, 09.10.03. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ Conditional Admission of Misconduct and suspended Respondent, Michael S. Keilly, attorney registration number 18862 from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day. Respondent represented a client concerning an insurance coverage dispute and failed to act with reasonable diligence in pursuing the matter he filed on behalf of the client. He failed to appear for a status conference following the filing of an answer by defendants, failed to set the matter for trial as directed, and failed to take any action thereafter on behalf of the client. As a result, the court dismissed the action. Respondent failed to inform his client of his inaction or the dismissal. Respondent effectively abandoned the representation of the client, resulting in significant harm to the client. Respondent violated Colo. RPC 1.3, Colo. RPC 1.4(a), Colo. RPC 1.4(b), and Colo. RPC 1.16(d). Significant mitigating factors were present. Respondent was ordered to pay the costs of the proceeding.
