Attorney Sean McCarthy of Arvada, CO; dishonest slacker

The state of Colorado provided Sean Michael McCarthy with a law license in 1999 after he graduated from the University of Colorado Law School.

The Colorado State Bar found Sean guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to communicate with clients
• Assumed possession of client funds w/o having earned the funds
• Failed to complete work his clients hired him to perform
• Recklessly breached his duties of honesty and integrity
• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
• Failed to comply with client information requests
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Failed to promptly deliver funds owing to client or third party
• Failed to maintain client trust account records for seven years
• Failed to take steps to protect client interests upon termination
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Colorado Supreme Court punished Sean by gifting him, with a complimentary 3-year suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. September 2018), Sean practices in Arvada, Colorado.

CAUTION: Sean does not carry legal malpractice insurance
