The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Georgia Supreme Court recently disbarred Marietta lawyer Wendel Lawrence Bowie from the practice of law, noting an investigative panel found his conduct had been egregious.

Bowie committed a number of violations, the court said. They included his receipt of $300,000 as closing attorney in a home mortgage refinancing and his failure to disburse the funds to the original mortgage holder and, later, failure to account for the funds. In another matter, he obtained $4,462 in settlement funds on behalf of a client and failed to turn over the funds or account for them, the court said.
