People v. Lambert, 05PDJ060. September 14, 2005. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and disbarred Respondent Brett J. Lambert (Attorney Registration No. 14173) from the practice of law, effective October 15, 2005. These proceedings arose from Respondent’s misconduct in two client matters. Respondent acted as the sole owner of a corporation which facilitated tax deferred exchanges of real estate. In both client matters, Respondent knowingly converted client funds for his own use while serving in his role as a fiduciary. Thus, Respondent engaged in conduct constituting grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 8.4(c) (conduct involving dishonest, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation). The Court ordered Respondent to pay restitution to both injured clients, and the costs incurred in conjunction with these proceedings.
