On December 23, 2010, the Tennessee Supreme Court entered an Order suspending the law license

The Tennessee Supreme Court initially suspended Mr. Brizzolara on July 29, 2010 pursuant to
Section 14 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9. The Court further ordered the Board of Professional
Responsibility to institute a formal proceeding to determine the extent of final discipline to be imposed as a
result of his plea to serious crimes involving prescription drug fraud, forgery, and identity theft. The Board
filed a Petition for Final Discipline on August 5, 2010. Mr. Brizzolara entered into a Conditional Guilty
Plea accepting a sanction of two (2) years suspension.
Mr. Brizzolara is also currently suspended from the practice of law in Tennessee for failure to pay
registration fees and failure to comply with continuing legal education requirements.
Mr. Brizzolaraâs actions violate the following Rules of Professional Conduct: 8.4, Misconduct. Mr.
Brizzolara must comply with Sections 18 and 19 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 regarding the
obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys. He must pay the Boardâs costs and expenses prior
to reinstatement to the practice of law.
