MEMPHIS LAWYER SUSPENDED FROM THE PRACTICE OF LAW
Jennifer A. Jenson, a Memphis lawyer, has been temporarily suspended from the practice of law by
Tennessee Supreme Court Order filed on December 14, 2001. The Court suspended Ms. Jenson based upon a
petition filed by the Board of Professional Responsibility alleging that she has misappropriated entrusted funds to
her own use and poses a substantial threat of irreparable harm to the public.
This suspension was issued pursuant to Section 4.3 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9. Jenson may
make application for dissolution or modification of the Order as provided in Rule 9. Jenson is precluded from
accepting any new clients after December 14, 2001 and is also precluded from representing present clients after
January 14, 2002. The Supreme Court order further provided that Jenson is required to deposit all fees, client
funds and funds due third parties which are tendered to her during the suspension period in her trust account, and
that she is enjoined from making any withdrawals from this trust account unless approved in writing by Disciplinary
Counsel.
Finally, the Court ordered that if Jenson requests dissolution or modification of the suspension, she must
furnish to Disciplinary Counsel a complete audit report by Stewart Title or another Memphis area title insurance
company as to her trust account and all of her real estate closing files opened since the beginning of 1999, setting
forth that she has properly paid all amounts due third parties and clients which were previously entrusted to her,
and that she has completed all of her responsibilities as closing attorney.
After January 14, 2002, Jenson shall furthermore not use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant or law
clerk, nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted. Section 18 of Tennessee Supreme Court
Rule 9 requires Jensen to notify by registered or certified mail all clients being represented in pending matters; all
co-counsel and opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs order suspending her. Section 18 also requires Jenson
to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This suspension shall remain in effect until it is dissolved or amended by order of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee.
