WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On February 14, 2019, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Matthew David Dunn
from the practice of law for failing to respond to the Board of Professional Responsibility regarding a complaint
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.
Mr. Dunn is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by March 16, 2019 (thirty days). After March 16, 2019, Mr. Dunn shall not use any indicia of
lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted. Mr. Dunn
must also 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 and 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. Dunn
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
