ALLEN, ERNEST LEE BPR # 002667
April 03, 1995 County:Davidson District:5
Suspended for ninety (90) days, and for an indeterminate period until restitution is made to one
client, by order entered April 3, 1995. In one case, he received a fee of $2,000 from a client
charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. He was discharged by the client shortly
thereafter and failed to return any unearned fee. He agreed to make restitution to the client of
$1,001. In another matter, he was employed to represent a minor child in a products liability
action. Allen was not competent to handle the matter because of his medical disability and the
case was twice dismissed without prejudice. The client was able to employ other counsel to
handle her case competently. He entered a conditional guilty plea for the stated discipline.
