SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On January 26, 2018, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Keisha Moses Richardson
from the practice of law upon finding that Ms. Richardson failed to comply with a Supreme Court Order
requiring participation in an evaluation. Pursuant to the Order, failure to comply with the Order may serve as
the basis for temporary suspension pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 12.3.
Ms. Richardson is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and she must cease
representing existing clients by February 25, 2018. After February 25, 2018, Ms. Richardson shall not use any
indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Ms. Richardson must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and
opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending her law license. Ms. Richardson is required to
deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
Ms. Richardson must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, §§ 28 and
12.3(d), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of temporarily suspended attorneys and the procedure
for reinstatement.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Ms.
Richardson may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme
Court.
