In the Matter of Ricardo L. Polk.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected Ricardo L. Polk's petition for voluntary discipline, finding that his proposed concurrent suspension and restitution condition were inadequate given his violation of Rule 1.16(d) and his extensive prior disciplinary history. The Court also held that Polk's arguments that willingness to make restitution, the remoteness of prior offenses, and his financial difficulties were mitigating factors were unsupported by the ABA Standards.
