CAMPBELL COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
Effective March 28, 2017 the Supreme Court of Tennessee disbarred Conrad Mark Troutman from the
practice of law for misappropriating funds while serving as the closing attorney in a real estate transaction and
misusing his trust account to pay personal and business expenses. Mr. Troutman was ordered to pay the costs of
the disciplinary proceedings to the Board and to the Court.
On February 3, 2016, the Board of Professional Responsibility filed a petition for discipline against Mr.
Troutman based upon two (2) complaints of misconduct. The petition alleged Mr. Troutman misappropriated
approximately $200,000.00 from his trust account and misused his trust account to pay personal and business
expenses. Mr. Troutman executed a conditional guilty plea acknowledging his unethical conduct.
Mr. Troutmanâs conduct violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 (Safekeeping Property and Funds);
and 8.4(a), (b), (c) and (d) (Misconduct).
Mr. Troutman must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 18 and
30, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys and may not return to the active practice
of law until an order of reinstatement has been entered by the Supreme Court.
