U.S. Pollution Control Inc. v. Board of County Commissioners

A complaint alleging two counts of professional misconduct was filed with the Colorado Supreme Court Grievance Committee against the respondent, Jeffrey Hugh Sachs. The respondent and the prosecutor have stipulated that the facts alleged in the complaint are true and that the respondents conduct violated provisions of the Code of Professional Responsibility. After a hearing conducted primarily to consider appropriate sanctions, the hearing board recommended that the respondent be suspended from the practice of law for a period of two years and that he be assessed the costs of these proceedings. A hearing panel unanimously approved the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the board. In view of the facts found by the board, as set forth below, we agree with the hearing panels recommendation.
