DALTON, GEORGIA LAWYER REINSTATED
On March 30, 2016, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated James A. Meaney, III, of Dalton,
Georgia, to the active practice of law in Tennessee subject to Mr. Meaney engaging a practice monitor for one
year.
On June 2, 2014, the Court suspended Mr. Meaney for a period of eleven (11) months and twenty-nine
(29) days, with three (3) months to be served as an active suspension for practicing law while his license was
administratively suspended. On January 27, 2016, Mr. Meaney filed a Petition for Reinstatement which was
referred to a Hearing Panel for the Board for consideration.
The Hearing Panel determined Mr. Meaney complied with the terms and conditions of his suspension;
demonstrated the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law required for the practice of law; and
his resumption of the practice of law would not be detrimental to the integrity or standing of the bar or
administration of justice, or subversive to the public interest. The Supreme Court accepted the recommendation
of the Hearing Panel and reinstated Mr. Meaneyâs license to practice law in Tennessee effective March 30,
2016.
