Howieson v. People.

No. 23PDJ042. 6/5/2024. Opinion Granting Reinstatement.

August 13, 2024

Following a reinstatement hearing, a hearing board reinstated Richard A. Howieson (attorney registration number 50108) to the practice of law in Colorado under CRCP 242.39. The reinstatement took effect on June 5, 2024.

In July 2021, Howieson was suspended from the practice of law in Colorado for 18 months. The suspension was premised on Howieson’s conviction of a class 6 felony of obscenity. The hearing board reinstated Howieson, finding that he proved by clear and convincing evidence that he complied with all disciplinary rules and orders, is fit to practice law, and has been rehabilitated from his underlying misconduct.

The case file is public per CRCP 242.41(a).
