Supreme Court of Georgia
In the Matter of Shannon Dewayne Patterson.
May 21, 2018814 S.E.2d 729
Summary
The Court accepted Patterson's petition for voluntary discipline and suspended his law license after he pleaded guilty to a federal felony involving a false tax return. The suspension will remain in effect until his federal sentencing and further order of the Court because an interim suspension better protects the public than allowing him to continue practicing. Patterson must notify the State Bar within seven days after sentencing and comply with the applicable notification requirements.
