Letter to the Editor: Georgia Authorized Group mourns the lack of Matt Patton

On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to offer my condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of longtime Atlanta Attorney Matthew H. “Matt” Patton on his death at the age of 85.

Mr. Patton has been a member of the Georgia Bar since 1963 and spent his entire legal career with the law firm of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton in Atlanta. As senior litigator, he represented the interests of many high profile corporate clients. He served his profession as President of the Younger Lawyers Section of the State Bar of Georgia and served on the State Bar’s Board of Governors for 36 years.
