Attorney Joel Wadsworth of Atlanta, GA; ethical troll

The state of Georgia presented Joel S. Wadsworth with a law license in 1992 after he graduated from the University of Florida School of Law.

The Georgia State Bar found Joel guilty of the following misconduct.

• Repeatedly failed to respond to client information requests
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Failed to respond to client requests for documents related to their cases
• Engaged in illegal practice of law while license suspended for failure to pay annual registration fee
• Failed to decline or terminate representation when required to do so
• Failed to keep client informed of status of matter
• Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Screw you, said Joel!)
• Misconduct involved multiple violations
• Evidence that misconduct involved dishonest and selfish motive

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Georgia Supreme Court punished Joel by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. January 2020), Joel practices at 2625 Piedmont Road NE in Atlanta, Georgia.
