CLARKSVILLE LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On December 19, 2001 the Supreme Court of Tennessee issued an order summarily and
temporarily suspending Gary M. Eisenbergâs license to practice law, upon finding that Mr. Eisenberg had
failed to answer the Board of Professional Responsibilityâs requests for information regarding a complaint
of misconduct. Section 4.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary suspension of
an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of failing to respond to the Board of Professional
Responsibility. Disciplinary Counsel filed a petition with the Supreme Court alleging that Mr. Eisenberg had
failed to respond to the Boardâs requests for information regarding a complaint.
The December 19, 2001 order precludes Mr. Eisenberg from accepting any new cases effective
December 19, 2001. Mr. Eisenberg must cease representing existing clients effective January 18, 2002.
After January 18, 2002 Mr. Eisenberg shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor
maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
The order requires Mr. Eisenberg to notify by registered or certified mail all clients being
represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs order
suspending his law license. Section 18 of Supreme Court Rule 9 requires Mr. Eisenberg 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.
Eisenberg may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the
Supreme Court.
