WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On July 3, 2014, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Charles Powell Jackson, III,
from the practice of law upon finding that Mr. Jackson has failed to respond to the Board regarding two
complaints of misconduct. Section 12.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary
suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of an attorneyâs failure to respond to the Board
regarding a complaint of misconduct.
Effective July 3, 2014, Mr. Jackson is precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease
representing existing clients by August 2, 2014. After August 2, 2014, Mr. Jackson shall not use any indicia of
lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Jackson 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. Jackson 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. Jackson
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
