Double Billing Draws Probation

April appears to be a month for billing misconduct discipline in Colorado. The web page of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge reports a stayed suspension with probation for two years as agreed discipline in the following circumstances

Respondent recklessly violated his duty to treat his clients honestly when he requested and received reimbursement for identical business trip expenses by more than one client and denied his clients the use of these funds for a period of time. Respondent made good faith efforts to pay restitution to his clients.
