BLOUNT COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On June 3, 2026, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended David Arthur Walker from the
practice of law upon finding that Mr. Walker is substantially non-compliant with a Tennessee Lawyers Assistance
Program monitoring agreement and poses a threat of substantial harm to the public. Section 12.3 of Supreme
Court Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases
where an attorney is substantially non-compliant with the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program monitoring
agreement or deemed to pose a threat of substantial harm to the public.
Mr. Walker is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by July 3, 2026. After July 3, 2026, Mr. Walker shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant,
or law clerk nor maintain a presence wherein the practice of law is conducted. Mr. Walker 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 and is required to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
Mr. Walker must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
12.3(d), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of temporarily suspended attorneys and the procedure for
reinstatement.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. Walker
may, for good cause, request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
