Denver attorney reprimanded
David Donovan//March 23, 2022//
Attorney: Kaycee C. Staehle
Location: Denver
Bar membership: Member since 2000
Disciplinary action: Reprimanded on Feb. 16
Background: Staehle made double disbursements from her trust account in a real estate transaction, due primarily to her failure to maintain accurate client ledgers and proper reconciliation of her trust account. Staehle participated in the state bar’s trust account compliance program and showed progress but incurred recurring trust account deficiencies, including a negative balance due to failing to stop payment on duplicate checks issued by her and her law firm for a settlement agent’s fees.
Previous discipline: Staehle was censured in 2011 for assisting a corporation in the unauthorized practice of law and sharing a flat fee with the same non-lawyer corporation.
