TENNESSEE LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On March 9, 2020, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Jake Preston Evans of
Charlotte, North Carolina from the practice of law upon finding that Mr. Evans 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. Evans is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by April 9, 2020. After April 9, 2020, Mr. Evans shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal
assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Evans 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. Evans 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. Evans
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
