Prior Disparaging Comments
ག 18
The first ground for disqualification asserted in the motion concerned three unrelated cases where the judge allegedly made
"disparaging comments" against lawyers at Azar & Associates.
¶ 19 In two of the cases, Bocian alleged that the judge improperly denied motions to exclude the law firm's name from evidence. The motions were apparently filed based on the concern that the firm's advertising would prejudice jurors against the firm's clients in those cases. In denying the motion in the first of those cases, the judge stated in a footnote that, if the lawyers believed the firm's
"advertising prejudices their clients, the lawyers may wish to consider whether the advertising violates [Colo. RPC] 1.7(a)(2). .. If advertising truly creates the claimed prejudice to the firms' clients, it is simple enough to discontinue the advertising."
Although not clear from the motion or affidavit, Bocian alleged that the judge made "an identical allegation in denying" the same motion filed in the second case. According to the disqualification affidavit, these orders "ignored the issue of relevance [and] distorted [Azar & Associates'] argument concerning potential prejudice."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5jhrh5szhxqbivhxktfpse3x/bafkreih2y2eurfkfhzbyhknycedjaafhqbnhpspidt42wnyumfwzp2ghwe)
