Office of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge

People v. Egbune.

No. 24PDJ081. 6/11/2025. Amended Opinion Imposing Sanctions.

August 21, 2025

Following a sanctions hearing, the Presiding Disciplinary Judge disbarred Chuck Odifu Egbune (attorney registration number 26022). The disbarment took effect on July 16, 2025.

Egbune was suspended from the practice of law in June 2023. Even though he knew he could not engage in the practice of law thereafter, he continued to represent his sister by filing briefs and appellate pleadings on her behalf. By assisting his sister, he engaged in the unauthorized practice of law in violation of Colo. RPC 5.5(a), which prohibits a lawyer from practicing law in Colorado without a valid license to practice law unless otherwise specifically authorized.
