Supreme Court of Georgia
In the Matter of Jason Lee Van Dyke
April 18, 2023316 Ga. 168
Summary
The Court imposed a three-year suspension on Van Dyke for violating the Georgia professional-conduct rule governing a misdemeanor conviction involving moral turpitude, based on his nolo contendere plea to filing a false police report. The Court accepted the Special Master’s recommendation despite concerns about additional conduct because the proceeding charged only the Rule 8.4 (a) (3) violation, and the recommended sanction was substantially similar to the discipline imposed elsewhere. The suspension was made nunc pro tunc to March 1, 2019, and Van Dyke was reinstated because the suspension had expired.
