The Georgia Supreme Court today rejected a Savannah attorney’s petition for voluntary discipline in a dispute over a $4,500 fee.   

Attorney John V. Lloyd had urged the high court to issue a review panel reprimand for admitting violations of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct.

Lloyd was paid $4,500 to represent a criminal defendant in an appeal, then refunded only $375 to the client after he did not act promptly and the appeal was dismissed, the court found.

The justices noted that Lloyd’s assertions were “in conclusory fashion and without a bit of explanation or documentation” that he is unable to refund any more.”
