This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.
Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 2006
updated on 08/10/2012This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“unfortunately, this reprimand was made by the opposing Attorney because I would not back down from defending my client.”
