Colorado Disbars Steele Attorney

The Colorado lawyer who defended Edgar Steele in his murder-for-hire case has been disbarred. Robert T. McAllister agreed to give up his law license after he acknowledged misusing client funds on two occasions unrelated to Steele's case, according to a document signed this week in Colorado Supreme Court. According to the document, McAllister misused a $5,255.43 check while representing a company in a lawsuit. He also used $100,000 from another client, transferring $80,000 into his own account and $20,000 into an accounted owned by Steamboat Skyglass Lodge, LLC, an entity he controls/Meghann Cuniff, Sirens & Gavels.
