In the Matter of L. Nicole Brantley

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia reviewed a petition for voluntary discipline filed by attorney L. Nicole Brantley, who had failed to refund unearned fees and to pay a fee‑arbitration award. The Court found that, given Brantley’s extensive disciplinary history and the aggravating factors, a public reprimand was insufficient. Accordingly, the petition was rejected and the matter was remanded for an evidentiary hearing to determine the appropriate sanction.
