SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
Effective February 24, 2025, the Supreme Court of Tennessee suspended Aaron Anthony Neglia from
the practice of law for ten (10) years following a de novo review pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, Section
15.4(c), of a ten (10) year suspension imposed by a Hearing Panel.
On June 9, 2022, the Supreme Court entered an order suspending Mr. Neglia and referred him back to
the Board to institute formal proceedings. Mr. Neglia pleaded guilty in two felony cases and was sentenced in
the Shelby County Criminal Court for bribery of a public servant and in the U.S. District Court for conspiracy
to violate the Travel Act. On July 19, 2022, the Board filed a Petition for Final Discipline pursuant to Tenn.
Sup. Ct. R. 9, Section 22.3, to institute formal proceedings on the extent of the sanction to be imposed for his
crimes. The Hearing Panel found that Mr. Negliaâs conduct violated the Tennessee Rules of Professional 8.4(a),
(b), (c), and (d) (misconduct) and imposed a ten (10) year suspension. The Supreme Court entered an Order
under Rule 9, Section 15.4 (c), on November 18, 2024, proposing to increase the sanction to disbarment and
requesting filing of the record and briefs from the parties. Following de novo review on the briefs and the
record, the Court concurred with the recommendation of the Hearing Panels to impose a ten (10) year
suspension, and granted Mr. Neglia one hundred, twenty-four (124) days credit towards his term of suspension.
Mr. Neglia must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and 30.4,
regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the procedure for reinstatement.
