A disbarred Buckhead lawyer was indicted Tuesday on 32 counts of theft and forgery and accused of misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars in client funds, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard Jr. announced.
Robert Thompson Jr., 65, graduated from Emory University School of Law and started practicing in 1975. For 34 years, he was a business and labor lawyer—as was his father before him—defending corporations and financial institutions and even serving on several banks’ boards of directors. That all changed with the Great Recession, when much of his practice disappeared.
