DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On June 18, 2020, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Newton S. Holiday from the
practice of law upon finding that Mr. Holiday failed to respond to the Board of Professional Responsibility.
Section 12.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides for the immediate temporary suspension of an attorneyâs license
to practice law in cases where an attorney fails to respond to a disciplinary complaint.
Mr. Holiday is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by July 18, 2020. After July 18, 2020, Mr. Holiday shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal
assistant, or law clerk or maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Holiday must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and
opposing counsel, of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending his law license. Mr. Holiday is required to
deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. Holiday
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
