The State Bar of Georgia filed three formal complaints against William A. Edwards, alleging that he violated numerous standards, including Standards 22 (withdrawing from representation without complying with applicable rules), 44 (abandoning a legal matter), 63 (failing to maintain complete records and promptly account for client funds), and 65 (commingling client and personal funds) of Bar Rule 4-102 (d). The complaints were based on three grievances alleging that Edwards failed to file a complaint, communicate with his clients, and provide an accounting of funds in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.
