In the Supreme Court of Georgia No. S26Y1019 In the Matter of Lisa Paige Lenn Decided: June 16, 2026 PER CURIAM. This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the report and recommendation of Special Master Kevin Bernard Hicks, who recommends that the Court accept the petition for voluntary discipline filed by Lisa Paige Lenn (State Bar No. 446520) prior to the issuance of a formal complaint under Bar Rule 4-227(b). In her petition, Lenn, who has been a member of the Bar since 1999, admits that, in January 2025, she entered a guilty plea in Cobb County Superior Court to one count of terroristic threats, a felony. By this conduct, Lenn acknowledges that she violated Rule 8.4(a)(2) 1 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct found in Bar Rule 4-102(d). The maximum penalty for a violation of Rule 8.4(a)(2) is disbarment. Lenn seeks to voluntarily surrender her license to practice law, which she acknowledges is tantamount to disbarment. The State Bar responds that it believes that it is in the best interest of the public and the profession for the Court to accept Lenn’s petition. We have reviewed the record and agree to accept Lenn’s petition for voluntary surrender of her license. See In the Matter of Williams, 291 Ga. 659 (2012) (accepting voluntary surrender of 1 This Rule provides that “[i]t shall be a violation of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct for a lawyer to … be convicted of a felony.” license where attorney violated Rule 8.4(a)(2)); In the Matter of Campbell, 282 Ga. 688 (2007) (same). Accordingly, the name of Lisa Paige Lenn hereby is removed from the rolls of persons entitled to practice law in the State of Georgia. Lenn is reminded of her duties under Bar Rule 4-219(b). Voluntary surrender of license accepted. All the Justices concur. ## Summaries written by Georgia Commons The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the opinion above and is not part of the court's opinion. Quote the opinion, not the summary. The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted an attorney's request to voluntarily surrender her law license after she pleaded guilty to a felony charge of terroristic threats, a move the court treats as equivalent to disbarment. ### Plain-language summary Lisa Paige Lenn, a Georgia attorney who had practiced law since 1999, pleaded guilty in Cobb County Superior Court in January 2025 to one count of terroristic threats, a felony. Under the rules that govern Georgia lawyers, being convicted of a felony is itself a violation of professional conduct rules, and the maximum punishment for that violation is disbarment. Rather than go through a full disciplinary hearing, Lenn asked the Supreme Court of Georgia to let her voluntarily give up her law license, which she admitted amounts to the same thing as disbarment. A special master reviewed the matter and recommended the court accept her request, and the State Bar agreed that accepting it served the public interest. The court reviewed the record and agreed, removing her from the rolls of attorneys allowed to practice law in Georgia. ### Holding, as summarized The court held that voluntary surrender of a law license is an acceptable resolution when an attorney has been convicted of a felony in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(2), and it accepted Lenn's surrender as equivalent to disbarment, removing her from the rolls of Georgia attorneys. ### Disposition Voluntary surrender of license accepted. All the Justices concur. ### Why it matters The decision permanently ends Lenn's ability to practice law in Georgia, protecting current and future clients from being represented by someone convicted of a violent felony, and it reinforces that a felony conviction alone can end a Georgia lawyer's career. > The summarized reasoning, checked quotes, suggested questions, and the CourtListener opinion records (1,675 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/opinions/S26Y1019.md?full=1
