Supreme Court of Georgia
In the Matter of Diana Y. McDonald
June 11, 2024
Summary
The Court dismissed McDonald’s petition to transfer to retired status and ordered her disbarred for misconduct involving misrepresentations about escrowed funds, conversion of those funds, and violations of fiduciary and trust-account duties. The Court agreed with the disciplinary findings, concluded that the violations and aggravating circumstances supported no sanction less than disbarment, and expressly declined to decide whether the alleged unreasonable-fee violation occurred because that issue was unnecessary to the disposition.
