Finding that Jordan committed the alleged violations and had received sanctions in two prior disciplinary cases, the special master recommended that Jordan be disbarred. Jordan filed a petition for voluntary surrender of license, admitting to violating Standards 61, 65 (A), and 65 (D). The State Bar responded that it had no objections to Jordan’s petition. The review panel recommends that this Court accept Jordan’s petition.
Based on the record, this Court adopts the review panel’s recommendation and accepts Hill R. Jordan’s petition for voluntary surrender of his license to practice law in Georgia, which is tantamount to disbarment. Jordan is reminded of his duties under Bar Rule 4-219 (c) to timely notify all clients of his inability to represent them, take all actions necessary to protect the interests of his clients, and certify to this Court that he has satisfied the requirements of the rule.
