Speaker Ralston fires back at Bar complaint | www.myajc.com

House Speaker David Ralston, who faces possible disbarment over a State Bar of Georgia complaint, on Wednesday said he violated no rules and urged the Georgia Supreme Court to dismiss the case.
Lawyers for Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, in their response to the complaint, said Ralston diligently represented his client and sought only to help him provide for his family.

“My actions were open, honest and sincere regarding my representation of this client and my efforts to help his family,” Ralston said.

Ralston is accused of violating nine State Bar rules and of allowing his duties as a legislator “to adversely affect his representation” of his client. The court has appointed a lawyer to continue the investigation and eventually present findings to the court, which has ultimate power to discipline a lawyer. Possible punishment ranges from acquittal to public reprimand to disbarment.
