WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On June 26, 2015, Thomas Holland McKinnie, Jr., of Williamson County, was suspended by the
Tennessee Supreme Court for one (1) year pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 4.2.
On August 6, 2014, the Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr.
McKinnie pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 9. Mr. McKinnie submitted a Conditional Guilty Plea that was
approved by the Hearing Panel, the Board and the Supreme Court. In one matter, Mr. McKinnie did not pursue
a case after telling his client that it was moving forward. In another matter, after settlement, Mr. McKinnie did
not provide his clients with a settlement sheet and led them to believe he was still negotiating to reduce a
subrogation claim after it had been paid. In the last matter, Mr. McKinnie failed to pursue his clientsâ case and
communicate with his clients about its status.
Mr. McKinnieâs actions violate the following Rule(s) of Professional Conduct: 1.3, Diligence; 1.4,
Communication, 1.5, Fees; and 8.4(c), Misconduct.
Mr. McKinnie must pay the expenses and costs of the disciplinary proceedings against him, pursuant to
Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 24.3, and fully comply in all respects with the requirements and obligations of
suspended attorneys as set forth in Supreme Court Rule 9, sections 18 and 19.
The Courtâs Order of Enforcement will take effect ten (10) days from the date of entry.
