In the Matter of Tiffini Colette Bell

Summary

The Court adopted the Special Master’s findings that Bell intentionally and knowingly neglected a client’s dispossessory action, misrepresented work she had performed, failed to communicate, and violated multiple professional-conduct rules. It concluded that disbarment was warranted because the misconduct harmed the client, involved multiple aggravating factors, and was not adequately mitigated by Bell’s asserted mental-health issues, limited fee, or later practice changes. The Court ordered Bell’s name removed from the rolls of persons authorized to practice law in Georgia.
