On June 17, 2016, Joseph Brent Nolan, of Knoxville, Tennessee, was suspended from the practice of
law by Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court for one (1) year. The suspension begins on June 17, 2016. Mr.
Nolan must pay the Boardâs costs and expenses and the court costs within ninety days of the entry of the Order

Mr. Nolan was previously suspended for one (1) year on December 6, 2014 and for six (6) months on

he provided contractual documents to be used by a client in a commercial transaction.
Mr. Nolanâs actions violated RPC 5.5 (unauthorized practice of law) and 8.4(a) and (g) (misconduct).
Mr. Nolan must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and 30,
regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
