City Attorney Faces Second Ethics Probe | Denver News

Denver City Attorney Miko Brown is under fire again, facing a second ethics complaint alleging she pressured an insurance broker to switch legal counsel in a high-stakes case tied to a May death at Denver International Airport. The dispute centers on AIG’s decision to hire two law firms — one of which was Brown’s former firm, Wheeler Trigg ODonnell — and claims she improperly influenced the choice. Her office denies any pressure, insisting AIG made the hiring decisions independently and at its own expense. This follows a prior ethics probe over WTO’s steep billing rates and ballooning legal costs for the city. Legal experts are urging a full investigation into both complaints, as Brown’s past ties to the firm raise serious questions about conflicts of interest — even as she insists she followed all rules and acted in the city’s best interest. The Denver Board of Ethics will review both cases on September ninth. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
