BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY v. LARRY EDWARD

Circuit Court for Shelby County
No. CT-001608-16

JUDGMENT
This case was heard upon the record on appeal from the Circuit Court for Shelby
County, the briefs of the parties, and the argument of counsel. Upon consideration
thereof, this Court holds that the hearing panelâs finding that Mr. Parrish violated Rules
3.5(e), 8.2(a)(1), 8.4, and 8.4(d) of the Rules of Professional Conduct is supported by
material and substantial evidence, but the hearing panel acted arbitrarily and capriciously
in determining that the appropriate sanction for Mr. Parrishâs misconduct was a public
censure rather than suspension. We therefore affirm the judgment of the trial court
imposing a six-month suspension, with one month served on active suspension and the
remaining five months on probation.
In accordance with the opinion filed herein, it is, therefore, ordered and adjudged
that the judgment of the Circuit Court for Shelby County suspending Mr. Parrish is
affirmed. We tax the costs of this appeal to Larry Edward Parrish, for which execution
may issue if necessary.
