Judge Brantley was Mr. Bowers’ subordinate when he served as Mr. Bowers’ lawyer as a staff judge advocate in the Air National Guard for 10 years, until 1992. During Mr. Bowers’ 1994 re-election campaign for Georgia Attorney General, Judge Brantley served as his treasurer. When Mr. Bowers ran for Governor in | ||
1998, Judge Brantley again served as treasurer and contributed $5,000 to the campaign. From 2001 to | |||
2007, Judge Brantley was Of Counsel to Mr. Bowers’ law firm – a business relationship that involved the | |||
firm paying for all of Judge Brantley’s overhead and a 50/50 split of all his fees. In 2004, Judge Brantley ran for a seat on the Georgia Supreme Court and received almost $20,000 in campaign contributions from Bowers himself and Bowers’ law firm and family members. In 2009, when Judge Brantley sued to collect legal fees owed him, his attorney was Mr. Bowers, the case went on until 2012. In addition, this week it was revealed that Mr. Bowers’ son was Judge Brantley’s former law clerk."
