Attorney David Krall of Colorado Springs, CO; slacker, loser
The state of Colorado presented David Howard Krall with a law license in 1975 after he graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law.
Disciplinary Counsel found Davey guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.
-
Failed to reasonably communicate with his client
-
Failed to withdraw when his physical and/or mental condition materially impaired his ability to represent his client
-
Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
-
Stopped communicating with his client soon after accepting the case
-
Failed to attend court-scheduled case management conference on client’s behalf
-
Failure to attend case management conference led the court issue an order for Davey to show cause why sanctions should enter against the client for not appearing
-
Davey did not send a copy of the show cause order to his client, and he did not file a response
-
The plaintiff then moved for default judgment on show cause motion, which was granted by the court
-
Davey’ client first learned of the default judgment after receipt of a letter from the plaintiff asking for full payment of the judgment
-
Davey’s client paid another lawyer $15,000 to set aside the default judgment rendered against the client due to Davey’s egregious negligence
As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Colorado Supreme Court punished Davey by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. January 2021), Davey practices his brand of law at 501 North Nevada Avenue in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
