SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
On September 5, 2017, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated Alisa Lashelle Simmons (Tate) to the
practice of law. Ms. Simmons (Tate) had been suspended by the Supreme Court of Tennessee on October 27,
2011, for one (1) year, retroactive to her temporary suspension on October 31, 2010. She will be required to
have a practice monitor for twelve (12) months.
Ms. Simmons (Tate) filed a Petition for Reinstatement on June 22, 2016, pursuant to Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 30.4(d). The Hearing Panel found that Ms. Simmons (Tate) met her burden of
proof by clear and convincing evidence that she has the moral qualifications, competency and learning in law
required for admission to practice law in this state and that the resumption of the practice of law within the state
will not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of the bar or the administration of justice, or subversive to
the public interest. Based upon the Hearing Panelâs recommendation, the Supreme Court reinstated Ms.
Simmons (Tate) to practice law.
