DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
By Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court entered August 26, 2020, Kevin William Teets, Jr. was
reinstated to the active practice of law.
On June 10, 2020, Mr. Teets was suspended by the Supreme Court of Tennessee for a period of thirty
(30) days active suspension and ordered to pay to the Board all costs in the disciplinary proceeding.
Mr. Teets assisted with the incorporation of a non-profit entity in exchange for being named treasurer of
the non-profit. A Hearing Panel found Mr. Teets misappropriated funds from the non-profit while acting as its
treasurer in violation of Rules of Professional Conduct 8.4 (misconduct).
Mr. Teetsâ reinstatement to the active practice of law is conditioned upon his engagement of a practice
monitor for one year who will meet with him monthly to assess his case load, timeliness of tasks, adequacy of
communication with clients, and accounting procedures and provide monthly written reports of Mr. Teetsâ
progress to Disciplinary Counsel.
Mr. Teets shall incur no new complaints of misconduct that relate to conduct occurring during the period
of probation that result in the recommendation by the Board that discipline be imposed.
