Court disbars Atlanta lawyer
The Georgia Supreme Court has disbarred Atlanta lawyer Lagrant Anthony from practicing law in Georgia.
The court noted that Anthony had been suspended from practicing law on two prior occasions. In the most recent complaint filed against him by the State Bar of Georgia, Anthony was found to have solicited a client to represent her in a criminal case, taking $500 from the client's mother for his services. But he arrived two hours late at the woman's bond hearing and never responded to calls from his client or her mother about the case, the court said.
