Powder Springs lawyer disbarred
The Georgia Supreme Court has disbarred Powder Springs lawyer Robert E. Bach from the practice of law for abandoning clients, among other violations.
Bach, who represented clients in bankruptcy cases, had been suspended from practice by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Atlanta, the court said. Bach failed to file a bankruptcy petition for some of his clients, closed his office without notifying clients, failed to competently represent clients, failed to appear in court and falsely told one client the case was proceeding on schedule, the court said.
