Board of Professional Responsibility v. Judson

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court approved reciprocal discipline against Timothy J. Judson based on a Colorado disciplinary order. The court suspended Judson from practicing law in Wyoming for one year and one day, with six months served and the remaining six months stayed subject to successful completion of a three-year probationary period, and ordered payment of costs and an administrative fee.
