The Georgia Supreme Court has rejected Roswell lawyer Dale Calomeni’s request that he receive a reprimand from a State Bar review panel for violating ethics rules, saying such discipline is insufficient.

The court said Calomeni mishandled funds that were to be put in a trust account for a client, exposed his clients to improper contact with a disbarred lawyer and pressed forward with a lawsuit contrary to the direction of his client’s son, who was directing the litigation. The least severe sanction, as requested by Calomeni, is not strong enough, the court said.
