DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On November 18, 2021, the Supreme Court of Tennessee suspended Charles Edward Walker from the
practice of law for three (3) years pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, Section 12.2, with two (2) years active
suspension and one (1) year on probation under the supervision of a practice monitor. The Court, affirming the
decision of the hearing panel and trial court, found Mr. Walker failed to correct misstatements made in court
after discovering the statements were incorrect; created a trust entity to engage in transactions with the intent to
circumvent an injunction entered by the Chancery Court restraining him and his business from certain activities;
knowingly violated a court order prohibiting him from recording documents in any Register of Deeds office in
Tennessee without filing a notice of intent with the court or from withdrawing funds from the registry of the
court or any Clerk and Master without leave of the court; and failed to disclose his disciplinary history, his
criminal contempt conviction, and a pending disciplinary matter in a pro hac vice application filed with the
United States District Court for the Western District of Texas at Austin in violation of Tennessee Rules of
Professional Conduct 3.1 (Meritorious Claims and Contentions), 3.3(a) (Candor toward a Tribunal), 3.4
(Fairness to the Opposing Party and Counsel), 4.1 (Truthfulness in Statements to Others), 8.4(a) (Misconduct),
8.4(c) (Dishonesty, Fraud, Deceit, or Misrepresentation), and 8.4(d) (Conduct Prejudicial to the Administration
of Justice).
Mr. Walker 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.
