### **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.
