Atlanta lawyer disbarred

By Bill Rankin

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday disbarred Atlanta lawyer Joseph Seth Shaw from the practice of law.

In its opinion, the court said Shaw was paid $1,500 to defend a client in a DUI case and, while he appeared at an initial hearing, failed to show up for any other hearings, did nothing further in the case and did not refund any of his unearned fee. The court noted this was Shaw’s third instance of being disciplined.
