The Georgia Supreme Court has disbarred Morrow attorney Lynn Swank from practicing law because of a felony conviction.

Swank pleaded guilty March 28 to perjury in Fulton County Superior Court, the high court noted. In 2010, Swank was arrested on charges she forged a Fulton judge’s signature on several court orders. Those orders, required before a child can be placed for adoption, were presented by Swank on behalf of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, the GBI said.
