Crimes Draw Sanction

A stipulated sanction was approved by the Colorado Presiding Disciplinary Judge

The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ stipulation and suspended Cornell Johnson (attorney registration number 34449) for three years, effective November 19, 2024.

On March 25, 2024, Johnson was found guilty in Denver County District Court of first-degree assault with a deadly weapon that caused serious bodily injury, a class-three felony, in violation of C.R.S. section 18-3-202(1)(a). The criminal charge alleged that on or about June 25, 2022, Johnson unlawfully and feloniously caused serious bodily injury to a victim by means of a deadly weapon, a firearm, with the intent to cause serious bodily injury to another person. Johnson’s original sentence of ten years in the Colorado Department of Corrections with a thirty-six-month period of parole was modified to a five-year probation sentence.
