These matters are before the Court on the State Bar's recommendation that Respondent Jefferson Lee Adams (State Bar No. 003523) be given a Review Panel or public reprimand with conditions for violating Rules 1.3, 1.4, 1.16, 5.3, and 9.3 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct found in State Bar Rule 4-102 (d).

This appeal involves four disciplinary matters, which the State Disciplinary Board (SDB) assigned docket numbers 5394, 5477, 5478, and 5479.
