MURFREESBORO LAWYER DISBARRED BY SUPREME COURT
By Order of the Supreme Court filed February 6, 2007, Kathy Ann Sittloh was disbarred from the
practice of law. A Petition for Discipline was filed against Ms. Sittloh on May 25, 2006, arising out of seven
complaints of misconduct, three of which involved the taking of client monies. A Supplemental Petition for
Discipline was filed against Ms. Sittloh on July 12, 2006, arising out of seven additional complaints of
misconduct. Ms. Sittloh had previously been temporarily suspended by Order of the Supreme Court entered
February 14, 2006. Ms. Sittloh did not file an Answer to the Petition or Supplemental Petition for Discipline.
On August 24, 2006, a Default Judgment was entered against Ms. Sittloh and the allegations made in the
Petitions deemed admitted. A hearing was conducted before a Hearing Panel of the Board of Professional
Responsibility on October 30, 2006, to determine the sanction to be imposed. Ms. Sittloh did not appear for the
hearing. By the Finding and Judgment of the Hearing Panel filed November 15, 2006, the Hearing Panel found
that Ms. Sittloh violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.2(a), 1.3, 1.4, 1.5(a), 1.15(a)(d), 1.16.(d), 3.2,
5.5(a), and 8.4(a)((b)(c)(d) and should be disbarred.
Pursuant to Section 19 of Supreme Court Rule 9, Ms. Sittloh will not be eligible to apply for
reinstatement to the practice of law for five years. Reinstatement would be granted only by Ms. Sittloh
demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that she has the moral qualifications, competency, and learning
required for admission to the practice of law and that her resumption of practice would not be detrimental to the
integrity and standing of the bar or administration of justice or subversive to the public interest.
