The State Bar of Georgia charged attorney Marsha Mignott under rules the Georgia Supreme Court said did not apply to her, lost a disabled complainant’s evidence and called his ADA requests “outcome-seeking,” and publishes ADA contact information in Spanish but not English. The facts are from court opinions and the Bar’s own words.
As of June 26, 2026, the State Bar of Georgia had given a grievance against an outside lawyer a case number, a reviewer, and a written decision, while seven grievances against people connected to the Bar sat open with no disposition. In the complainant’s words: “The table does not show confusion. It shows disparity.”
On June 18, 2026, ADA Coordinator John J. Shiptenko acknowledged a grievance filed against him in a single word, “Received.” By June 25 it remained, by the complainant’s account, the only response on any of seven matters open with the State Bar of Georgia, none of which had a disposition.
