M.D. Ga. L.R. 83.2.7
Disbarment on Consent While Under Disciplinary Investigation
OR PROSECUTION.
A. Any attorney admitted to practice before this Court who is the subject of an investigation into,
or a pending proceeding involving, allegations of misconduct may consent to disbarment, but
only by delivering to this Court an affidavit stating that the attorney desires to consent to
disbarment and that:
1. The attorney's consent is freely and voluntarily rendered; the attorney is not being
subjected to coercion or duress; the attorney is fully aware of the implications of so
consenting;
2. the attorney is aware that there is a presently pending investigation or proceeding
involving allegations that there exist grounds for the attorney's discipline the nature of
which the attorney shall specifically set forth;
3. the attorney acknowledges that the material facts so alleged are true; and
4. the attorney so consents because the attorney knows that if charges were predicated
upon the matters under investigation, or if the proceeding were prosecuted, the attorney
could not successfully defend himself.
B. Upon receipt of the required affidavit, this Court shall enter an order disbarring the attorney.
C. The order disbarring the attorney on consent shall be a matter of public record. However, the
affidavit required pursuant to the provisions of this rule shall not be publicly disclosed or made
available for use in any other proceeding except upon order of this Court.
