A judge this week suspended a Denver attorney from practicing law in Colorado’s federal bankruptcy court after finding he lied, submitted false legal documents and engaged in a pattern of “fraudulent schemes” to try to get a case dismissed.for the District of Colorado for three years. The attorney violated his professional duties and committed “egregious lawyer misconduct,” bankruptcy Judge Thomas McNamara wrote in a scathing 46-page order issued Tuesday.
“From start to finish, Mr. Barclay’s representation of the debtors was incompetent,” McNamara wrote. “Even worse, he engaged in intentional bad-faith misconduct. … Rather than provide competent legal advice, Mr. Barclay engaged in a bizarre gamesmanship in the bankruptcy process.” “It’s a shame I ran out of the resources to defend a lot of the allegations,” he said, adding that he had “never willingly tried to lie or mislead the court.”“It’s driven more by a desire to shut me up,” he said of the suspension. “… That’s really why the pleadings are as intense and wordy as they are.”
