SUMNER COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
Effective July 30, 2018, the Supreme Court of Tennessee disbarred Andy Lamar Allman from the
practice of law and ordered restitution in the amount of $511,386.50 and costs of the disciplinary proceeding be
paid.
This is the third order disbarring Mr. Allman and is based upon a Petition for Discipline, Supplemental
Petition for Discipline, Second Supplemental Petition for Discipline, and Third Supplemental Petition for
Discipline involving seventy-four (74) separate disciplinary complaints.
Mr. Allman submitted a Conditional Guilty Plea on June 8, 2018, admitting he knowingly and
intentionally misappropriated client funds received in the sale of real estate and/or the settlement of litigation
claims; knowingly, intentionally and systematically misappropriated unearned retainer fees and converted the
funds to his personal or business use; failed to provide the substantive professional services for which he was
retained; and misled clients regarding the status of their cases and the filing of pleadings. Mr. Allman failed to
notify his clients of his temporary suspension, engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, and failed to
respond to the Board regarding a disciplinary complaint.
Mr. Allman admitted violating Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence); 1.2 (scope
of representation); 1.3 (diligence); 1.4 (communication); 1.5 (fees); 1.15 (safekeeping property and funds); 1.16
(declining or terminating representation); 3.2 (expediting litigation); 5.5 (unauthorized practice of law); 8.1
(disciplinary matters); and 8.4 (misconduct).
Mr. Allman must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 18 and
30, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys and may not return to the active practice
of law until an order of reinstatement has been entered by the Supreme Court.
