JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALABAMA LAWYER DISBARRED
On November 18, 2013, Lance William Parr of Birmingham, Alabama, was disbarred by the Tennessee
Supreme Court, pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 Section 4.2. He was ordered to pay restitution to
his former clients as a condition of reinstatement
On April 5, 2013, a Petition for Discipline was filed against Mr. Parr. The complaints arose from Mr.
Parrâs suspension from practicing law before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Tennessee. The Hearing Panel found that Mr. Parr neglected his cases, failed to communicate with his clients
and opposing counsel, failed to protect his clientsâ interests, demonstrated incompetence and abandoned his
practice. Mr. Parr did not respond to the Petition for Discipline and did not appear for the final hearing, despite
having notice of both.
The Hearing Panel determined that Mr. Parr violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, Competence;
1.3, Diligence; 1.4, Communication; 1.16, Terminating Representation; 3.2, Expediting Litigation; 3.4, Fairness
to Opposing Counsel; 8.4(a) and (d), Misconduct.
Ms. Parr must comply with Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 Sections 18 and 19 regarding the
obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys and the procedure for reinstatement. He must pay the
Boardâs costs and expenses prior to reinstatement to the practice of law.
