|
||||
|
||||
### **I. VIOLATIONS**

Respondent violated:
|

1. **Colo. RPC 3.3(a)(1)**: Knowingly false statements to tribunal
|
||||
2. **Colo. RPC 8.4(c)**: Conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation
|
||||
3. **Colo. RPC 3.4(c)**: Knowingly disobeying court rules
|
||||
|
||||
### **II. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS**
|
||||
**A. False Statements Regarding Disclosures**
|
||||
1. **6/9/25 6:50 PM**: I emailed complete disclosures to Respondent (Exhibit 1).
|
||||
2. **6/9/25 8:34 PM**: Respondent acknowledged receipt, stating:
|
||||
> "I've reviewed the disclosures you've provided and found material errors" (Exhibit 1).
|
||||
3. **6/16/25**: Respondent told the Court:
|
||||
> "Respondent has not provided financial disclosures" (Exhibit 2).
|
||||
|
||||
**B. False Claims About Mediation Cancellation**
|
||||
1. True reason: Scheduler's failure to notify me of payment deadline (Exhibit 3).
|
||||
2. **6/10/25**: I paid immediately upon learning of deadline (Exhibit 4).
|
||||
3. **6/16/25**: Respondent falsely told Court cancellation was due to my "noncompliance" (Exhibit 2).
|
||||
4. **6/17/25**: Respondent admitted in email cancellation was due to "Ms. Davis's failure to pay" - a false claim since:
|
||||
- I had already paid (Exhibit 4)
|
||||
- Respondent knew the scheduler failed to notify me (Exhibit 3)
|
||||
|
||||
**C. Post-Warning Misconduct**
|
||||
1. **7/9/25**: I served Respondent with evidence disproving her claims (Exhibit 5).

|
||||
|
||||
### **III. EXHIBITS**

||||
3. Exhibit 3: Scheduler emails showing notification failure
|
||||
4. Exhibit 4: Proof of timely payment
|
||||
5. Exhibit 5: 7/9/25 notice to Respondent
|
||||
6. Exhibit 6: 7/10/25 false filing
|
||||
|
||||
### **IV. REQUEST FOR RELIEF**
|
||||
1. Investigate Respondent for violating RPC 3.3(a)(1) and 8.4(c)
|
||||

### **OFFICE OF ATTORNEY REGULATION COUNSEL (OARC) COMPLAINT**
|
||||
**Subject:** Formal Complaint Against Knicky Van Goetz, Esq. (Colorado Bar #[Number])
|
||||
**Re:** Case No. 2025DR30592 (Arapahoe County District Court)
|
||||
|
||||
#### **1. Attorney’s Misconduct**
|
||||
Van Goetz violated:
|
||||
- **Colo. RPC 3.3(a)(1)** (Knowingly false statements to a tribunal)
|
||||
- **Colo. RPC 8.4(c)** (Dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation)
|
||||
- **Colo. RPC 1.4** (Failure to communicate)
|
||||
|
||||
#### **2. Factual Summary**
|
||||
**A. False Certification to the Court (6/16 Status Report)**
|
||||
- **Her 6/9 Email to Me**:
|
||||
> *“I’ve reviewed the disclosures you’ve provided and found material errors.”*
|
||||
- **Her 6/16 Status Report to Court**:
|
||||
> *“Respondent has not provided financial disclosures.”*
|
||||
- **Contradiction**: She **acknowledged** receiving disclosures on 6/9 but **denied** receiving them on 6/16.
|
||||
|
||||
**B. Fraudulent Mediation Cancellation Claim**
|
||||
- **Scheduler’s 6/9 Email**:
|
||||
> *“Mediation canceled due to nonpayment by Jason Davis.”*
|
||||
- **Her 6/16 Status Report**:
|
||||
> *“Mediation failed due to Respondent’s noncompliance.”*
|
||||
- **Intentional Misrepresentation**: She **knew** cancellation was due to payment but falsely blamed “noncompliance.”
|
||||
|
||||
**C. Post-Warning Misconduct (7/10 Filing)**
|
||||
- After I **served her** with proof of her falsehoods on 7/9, she **repeated the lies** in her 7/10 filing.
|
||||
|
||||
#### **3. Evidence Attached**
|
||||
1. **Exhibit 1**: 6/9 Email Chain (Van Goetz acknowledges disclosures)
|
||||
2. **Exhibit 2**: 6/16 Status Report (False claim of no disclosures)
|
||||
3. **Exhibit 3**: Scheduler’s 6/9 Email (True reason for mediation cancellation)
|
||||
4. **Exhibit 4**: My 7/9 Notice to Van Goetz (Demanding correction)
|
||||
5. **Exhibit 5**: Her 7/10 Filing (Repeating false statements)
|
||||
6. **Exhibit 6**: 6/17 Email (“Ms. Davis” typo proving bad faith)
|
||||
|
||||
#### **4. Request for Relief**
|
||||
- Investigate Van Goetz for **knowing misrepresentations** to the court.
|
||||
- Impose **disciplinary action**, including potential suspension.
|
||||
- Require her to **correct all false pleadings** and **notify the tribunal**.
|
||||
|
||||
#### **5. Certification**
|
||||
I declare under penalty of perjury that this complaint is truthful to the best of my knowledge.

||||

|

### **Key Tips for Submission**
|
||||
1. **File Online**: Use the [OARC’s complaint portal](https://coloradosupremecourt.com/Complaints/AttorneyComplaint.asp).
|
||||
2. **Tone**: Stick to **facts only**—avoid emotional language.
|
||||
3. **Follow Up**: OARC may request additional evidence. Respond promptly.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Why This Works**
|
||||
- **Focuses on ethics violations**, not personal grievances.
|
||||
- **Uses Van Goetz’s own words** to prove misconduct.
|
||||
- **Forces OARC to act**—they cannot ignore documented falsehoods.
|
||||
