Supreme Court of Georgia

In the Matter of Emmanuel Lucas West

March 20, 2017300 Ga. 777

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected Emmanuel Lucas West’s supplemental petition for voluntary discipline. Although West admitted mishandling an immigration client’s asylum application and acknowledged communication-related violations, he denied violating the rule prohibiting dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, and the State Bar did not adequately address that allegation. The Court therefore declined to accept the proposed Review Panel reprimand.
