HAMILTON COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On October 30, 2014, Michael Gregory Williams, of Hamilton County, Tennessee, was suspended from
the practice of law by Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court for four (4) years. The suspension will begin on
November 9, 2014.
A Petition for Discipline was filed on October 30, 2013, alleging that Mr. Williams had misappropriated
funds from an estate for which he had been appointed Administrator and had failed to file an inventory that had
been ordered by the court. Mr. Williams never responded to Disciplinary Counsel regarding the complaint and
did not respond to the Petition for Discipline. A Hearing Panel found that Mr. Williams violated RPC 1.15
(safekeeping property); 8.1 (bar and disciplinary matters), and; 8.4 (misconduct).
Mr. Williams must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 18
(2006) and Section 30 (2014) regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
