In the Matter of Trent Lee Coggins

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted Trent Lee Coggins’s petition for voluntary discipline and imposed a six‑month suspension nunc pro tunc to September 1, 2021, followed by reinstatement. The Court based its decision on Coggins’s admitted violations of Rules 1.15(I) and 1.15(II), the ABA standards for lawyer sanctions, and the mitigating factors presented. The sanction was deemed appropriate despite the seriousness of the trust‑account misconduct.
