People v. Skaalerud8/10/1998
ce of mitigating factors, " isbarment is generally appropriate when a lawyer knowingly converts client property and causes injury or potential injury to a client.").
People v. Lavenhar, 934 P.2d 1355, 1359 (Colo. 1997). The only mitigating factor is that Skaalerud has not been previously disciplined, and this factor alone does not call for different discipline than disbarrment. See People v. Margolin, 820 P.2d 347, 350 (Colo. 1991). Accordingly, we accept the conditional admission and the recommendation of the inquiry panel that Skaalerud be disbarred.
III.
It is hereby ordered that L. Crosby Skaalerud be disbarred and that his name be stricken from the list of attorneys authorized to practice before this court, effective upon the date on this opinion. It is further ordered that Skaalerud pay the costs of this proceeding in the amount of $489.65 to the Supreme Court Grievance Committee, 600 Seventeenth Street, Suite 920-S, Denver, Colorado 80202, within thirty days after the announcement of this opinion. Should he ever seek readmission, Skaalerud will be required to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that he has made restitution to each and every client harmed by the misconduct recited in the conditional admission.
