KNOX COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On January 2, 2019, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended John Harley Fowler from
the practice of law upon finding Mr. Fowler failed to respond to the Board regarding complaints of misconduct
and posed a threat of substantial harm to the public. Section 12.3 of Supreme Court, Rule 9, provides for the
immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of an attorneyâs failure to
respond to the Board regarding a complaint of misconduct or posing a threat of substantial harm to the public.
Mr. Fowler is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by February 1, 2019. After February 1, 2019, Mr. Fowler shall not use any indicia of lawyer,
legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Fowler must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and
opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending his law license. Mr. Fowler is required to deliver
to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. Fowler
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
