GEORGIA LAWYERâS SUSPENSION DISSOLVED
On March 19, 2013, James D. McWilliams, of Washington, Georgia, was summarily suspended by
Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court after entering a best interest (Alford) plea to a serious crime. He was
placed on diversion pursuant to T.C.A. § 40-35-313. The matter was referred to the Board for filing a Petition
for Final Discipline. Mr. McWilliams has successfully completed his probation and no conviction will result
from his best interest (Alford) plea. Therefore, the Board dismissed the Petition for Final Discipline and on
August 25, 2015, the Supreme Court entered an Order dissolving the summary suspension. The Order is
effective ten days after entry. Mr. McWilliams was on inactive status prior to the summary suspension and
resumes that status.
Mr. McWilliams must pay the court costs within ninety days of the entry of the Order of Enforcement.
