RUTHERFORD COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On July 31, 2019, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended John Paul Doyle from the
practice of law upon finding that Mr. Doyle failed to respond to the Board regarding a complaint of misconduct.
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 failure to respond to the Board regarding a complaint of misconduct.
Mr. Doyle is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by August 30, 2019. After August 30, 2019, Mr. Doyle shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal
assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Doyle 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. Mr. Doyle is required to deliver
to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
Mr. Doyle must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 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. Doyle
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
