People v. Klingsmith, 10PDJ123. February 16, 2011. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and disbarred Phil Klingsmith (Attorney Registration No. 09802) from the practice of law, effective February 16, 2011. Respondent, who served as power of attorney on behalf of two clients suffering from physical and mental disabilities, knowingly solicited over $205,000.00 in loans from those two clients without taking appropriate steps to protect the clients’ interests in view of their capacity to approve the transactions and Respondent’s ability to repay the loans. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 1.8.
