The Georgia Supreme Court disbarred Marietta attorney Joan Palmer Davis on Monday for failing to adequately represent her client.
According to the court ruling, Davis failed to appear in court to represent her client in a 2008 child support case, then attempted to withdraw from the case without telling him. Davis also took the client’s fee and refused to return it. The State Bar served Davis, who had been a member of the Bar since 1990, with a formal complaint in June 2010 for violating several rules.
The report also noted that Davis was reprimanded twice for similar actions in 2007 and 2010.
Davis ran unsuccessfully for Superior Court Judge in Cobb in 2010, 2008 and 2006.
