Albany attorney, judge Johnnie Graham disbarred by Georgia Supreme Court
ALBANY — The Georgia Supreme Court agreed unanimously to disbar a well-known legal figure in Albany who has been serving as an associate judge for Dougherty Juvenile Court.
“This disciplinary matter is before the Court on a Notice of Discipline seeking the disbarment of Johnnie Mae Graham (State Bar No. 304625),” a decision released by the court on Monday said. “Graham failed to acknowledge service of the Notice of Discipline mailed to her at the post office box address on file with the State Bar’s membership department.
“The State Bar then properly served Graham by publication pursuant to Bar Rule 4-203.1 (b) (3) (ii), but she failed to file a Notice of Rejection. Therefore, she is in default, has waived her right to an evidentiary hearing, and is subject to such discipline and further proceedings as may be determined by this Court.”
A phone call to the juvenile court office seeking comment from Graham was not returned.
