NASHVILLE LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On October 10, 2016, William Caldwell Hancock, of Nashville, Tennessee, was temporarily suspended
from the practice of law by Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court upon finding that Mr. Hancock has failed to
comply with the Courtâs Order entered June 24, 2016, directing that he contact Tennessee Lawyers Assistant
Program for an evaluation to determine his capacity to practice law and his capacity to respond to or defend
against a pending Petition for Discipline. The Courtâs June 24, 2016 Order expressly provided that failure by
Mr. Hancock to comply with the order may serve as the basis for temporary suspension pursuant to Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 12.3.
This temporary suspension is in addition to the one (1) year suspension from the practice of law ordered
by the Supreme Court on January 15, 2016, that Mr. Hancock is currently serving.
This temporary suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court.
Mr. Hancock may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the
Supreme Court.
