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.
