People v. Bruce A. Logan. 15PDJ026. April 16, 2015. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ conditional admission of misconduct and suspended Bruce A. Logan (Attorney Registration Number 14187) from the practice of law for ninety days, all stayed pending successful completion of a three-year period of probation. As conditions of probation, Logan must comply with court orders issued in a domestic relations case in Arapahoe County District Court and he must report to the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel on his compliance with those court orders. The probation took effect April 16, 2015.
For about twenty months in total, Logan failed to pay child support as ordered by the Arapahoe County District Court. According to Logan, he was financially unable to meet those obligations. By failing to pay court-ordered child support, Logan violated Colo. RPC 3.4(c) (a lawyer shall not knowingly disobey an obligation under the rules of a tribunal) and Colo. RPC 8.4(d) (a lawyer shall not engage in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice).
In addition, Logan stated on his 2014 attorney registration statement that he was in compliance with child support obligations, even though he knew he was not. By doing so, Logan violated Colo. RPC 8.4(c) (a lawyer shall not engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation).
