KINGSPORT LAWYER SUSPENDED
On November 3, 2008, the Tennessee Supreme Court entered an Order suspending the law license of
Jason H. Arthur, a Kingsport attorney, for thirty (30) days with all time suspended with probation for one (1)
year and restitution to the complainant.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr. Arthur alleging that
Mr. Arthur had requested and received fees and compensation on cases without remitting those fees and
compensation to his former employer. The Board further alleged the Respondent had written false letters to
physicians regarding liens.
Mr. Arthur agreed to a thirty (30) day suspension with all time suspended, probation for a period of one
(1) year and restitution to the complainant which was approved by the Tennessee Supreme Court. Mr. Arthurâs
actions violated the Rules of Professional Conduct. Mr. Arthur may continue to practice without further order
by the Tennessee Supreme Court. Mr. Arthur shall comply with the requirements and obligations of suspended
attorneys as set forth in Section 18 of Rule 9, Rules of the Supreme Court.
