DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On January 5, 2022, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Alex Fletcher Thompson
from the practice of law upon finding that Mr. Thompson was in substantial non-compliance with the terms of a
monitoring agreement with the Tennessee Lawyerâs Assistance Program (âTLAPâ). 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 noncompliance with TLAPâs monitoring agreement.
Mr. Thompson is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by February 4, 2022. After February 4, 2022, Mr. Thompson shall not use any indicia of
lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted. Mr.
Thompson 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 and is required to deliver to all clients any
papers or property to which they are entitled.
Mr. Thompson must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, §§ 28 and
12.3(d), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of temporarily suspended attorneys and the procedure for
reinstatement.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr.
Thompson may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme
Court.
