People v. Robert Allen Koenig. 19PDJ003. January 10, 2019. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ stipulation to reciprocal discipline and publicly censured Robert Allen Koenig (attorney registration number 23815), effective January 10, 2019.
This reciprocal discipline case arose out of discipline imposed in Nevada. On November 28, 2017, a formal hearing panel for the Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board issued to Koenig a formal letter of reprimand, which is considered public discipline in Nevada. Koenig’s discipline was premised on his failure, as a managing partner of a Nevada-based multijurisdictional law practice, to monitor and to supervise lawyers in the Las Vegas office. At the time he failed to adequately monitor the law office, the office submitted an untruthful multijurisdictional law practice application; allowed non-licensed Nevada attorneys, including a suspended California attorney, to monitor the office’s trust account, including the untimely distribution of funds; and employed associate attorneys who failed to comply with court orders in a litigation matter.
Koenig’s misconduct constitutes grounds for reciprocal discipline under C.R.C.P. 251.5 and 251.21. The case file is public per C.R.C.P. 251.31.
