The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday rejected Decatur lawyer Ricardo Polk’s request to be suspended from practicing law for two years, sending the case back for further review.

A special master assigned to the case had recommended the court accept Polk’s voluntary request for discipline, stemming from findings he neglected three clients charged with driving offenses. In rejecting the request, the court noted Polk had previously been suspended for three months for conduct involving multiple clients and said it had seen no proof Polk had paid restitution to one of those clients.
