SUMNER COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On February 8, 2019, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Randy Paul Lucas from the practice of
law for three (3) years, with six (6) months on active suspension and the remainder on probation. Mr. Lucas is
required to engage a practice monitor during the probationary period and to pay the costs of the disciplinary
proceeding. The suspension is effective immediately.
On June 28, 2017, the Board filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr. Lucas containing one complaint
of misconduct. The complaint alleged that Mr. Lucas agreed to represent a client in a personal injury case but
failed to take any action on his clientâs behalf thereby allowing the statute of limitations in this case to expire.
Mr. Lucas failed to maintain consistent communication with this client and made repeated misrepresentations to
this client. Mr. Lucas entered a Conditional Guilty Plea in this matter, and made a payment to the affected
client as compensation for his loss.
Mr. Lucasâ misconduct violates Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3 (diligence), 1.4
(communication), 1.8 (conflict of interest), and 8.4 (a) (c) and (d) (misconduct).
Mr. Lucas must comply with Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and 30.4 regarding the
obligations and responsibilities suspended attorneys.
