The Georgia Supreme Court accepted the voluntary resignation of an attorney who took from his law firm

In his petition, Moses, who has been a member of the Bar since 1994, admits that, from August 2009 through September 2011, he directly invoiced clients in excess of $77,000, in contravention of the unwritten policies of his then-firm, and accepted payments directly from clients that should have been submitted to the firm. Although Moses had repaid the mis-invoiced funds by October 2013 and had not had a prior disciplinary record, he acknowledged that his conduct violated Rule 8.4 (a) (4) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct, see Bar Rule 4-102 (d). The maximum sanction for a violation of Rule 8.4 (a) (4) is disbarment. Moses further notes that, on April 20, 2016, he was disbarred by the Supreme Court of South Carolina for the misconduct at issue here.
