FORMER SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
On August 25, 2017, the Tennessee Supreme Court disbarred Timothy Allen Price from the practice of
law pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 12.1. Mr. Price must pay the Board of Professional
Responsibilityâs costs and expenses and court costs within ninety days.
The Board filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr. Price that included one complaint. Mr. Price
prepared a fraudulent divorce decree and misrepresented to his client that she was divorced. She did not learn
of the fraud until six years later.
The Hearing Panel found that Mr. Price violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, (Competence); 1.3,
(Diligence); 1.4, (Communication); 1.5, (Unreasonable fee); 3.2, (Expediting litigation); 8.1, (Disciplinary
matters); and 8.4(c) and (d), (Conduct involving fraud and conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice).
Mr. Price must pay restitution to his client as a condition of reinstatement to the practice of law.
In an unrelated case, Mr. Price was suspended from the practice of law for two years on July 18, 2011.
To date, Mr. Price has not been reinstated from his previous suspension.
Mr. Price must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and 30.4,
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.
