People v. Leal. 12PDJ058. October 11, 2012. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of conduct submitted by the parties and suspended Carlos Leal III (Attorney Registration Number 21937) for one year and one day, all stayed upon successful completion of a three-year period of probation, with conditions, effective October 11, 2012. Leal violated a court order to pay monthly child support and maintenance to his ex-wife. In addition, while administratively suspended for failure to pay registration fees and failure to comply with continuing legal education requirements, he entered an appearance on behalf of a client and filed motions in that client’s case. His misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 3.4(c), 5.5(a)(1), and 8.4(d).
