In the Matter of Eric C. Lang

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected Eric C. Lang’s petition for voluntary discipline seeking a six-month suspension consecutive to an existing suspension. The Court determined that the proposed sanction was inadequate in light of Lang’s neglect of a client matter and failure to communicate an adverse judgment while his prior disciplinary petition was pending.
