In the Matter of Michael R. Proctor

This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of the Review Panel, recommending that the Court accept the petition for reinstatement filed by Michael Rory Proctor State Bar No. 588428.

To resolve two formal complaints as well as six other disciplinary matters, this Court accepted the petitions for voluntary discipline filed by Proctor, who had been suspended on an interim basis since March 2011, see In the Matter of Proctor, 292 Ga. 643 740 SE2d 168 2013. The Court imposed an indefinite suspension on Proctor’s ability to practice law, and conditioned his reinstatement, in relevant part, on him: 1 not seeking reinstatement any earlier than March 14, 2014; 2 continuing treatment with his current psychiatrist or a duly-qualified successor and taking any steps necessary to allow access to their reports by the Office of the General Counsel “OGC”, the Committee on Lawyer Assistance “CLA”, or this Court; 3 submitting a current psychological evaluation from a qualified psychiatrist or psychologist expressing the doctor’s professional opinion that Proctor’s incapacity has ended and he is fit to practice law; 4 submitting proof that he has paid specific amounts of restitution to various former clients; 5 submitting his petition for reinstatement to the Review Panel for issuance of a report and recommendation to this Court; and 6 not undertaking the practice of law until this Court issues an opinion granting or denying his petition for reinstatement.
