Attorney Christopher Griffin of Westminster, CO; cheating drunk

The state of Colorado presented Christopher L. Griffin with a law license in 1995 after he graduated from the University of Denver School of Law.

Disciplinary Counsel found Chris guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to keep required financial records
• Neglected to provide any fee agreement to the client
• Failed to adequately communicate with his client about the case
• Failed to respond to client information requests
• Mistakenly treated $500 belonging to his client as earned and deposited that money into his operating account
• Failed again to provide a written statement explaining his fee
• Client fired Chris and demanded a refund
• Over a period of months, Chris disregarded client’s multiple requests for an update
• Provided no benefit or legal service to the client, who had to pay for a new lawyer
• Arrested and pled guilty to driving under the influence (DUI)
• Failed to maintain trust account records
• Failed to protect a client’s interests upon termination of the representation
• Failed to return unearned fees [cheater]

As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Colorado Supreme Court punished Chris by gifting him with a complimentary 2-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak, (ca. April 2019), Chris practices at 12207 Pecos Street in Westminster, Colorado.

CAUTION: Chris does not carry legal malpractice insurance
