In the Matter of Wendy R. Barnes

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the Special Master’s recommendation and ordered Wendy R. Barnes disbarred because her three felony convictions, including obstruction of a law‑enforcement officer and aggravated battery, violated Rule 8.4(a)(2) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct. The Court relied on ABA standards and prior Georgia case law that treat violent felony convictions as grounds for disbarment.
