On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to express condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of longtime Atlanta attorney John T. Marshall after his passing on July 22 at the age of 86.

A member of the Georgia Bar since 1962, Mr. Marshall began his career with the law firm of Powell, Goldstein, Frazer and Murphy, became a partner in 1967 and remained with the firm, which later merged with Bryan Cave, for 47 years. He served the legal profession and justice system in numerous capacities, including president of the Atlanta Bar Association, chair of the State Bar of Georgia’s Standards of the Profession Committee.
