MEMPHIS ATTORNEY SUSPENDED
On February 15, 2013, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended the law license of David J. Johnson
pursuant to Section 14 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9. The Court suspended Mr. Johnsonâs law license
based upon his conviction of a serious crime, i.e. Wire Fraud, in violation of United States Code § 1343.
The Supreme Court further ordered the Board of Professional Responsibility to institute a formal
proceeding to determine the extent of final discipline to be imposed as a result of the conviction. Mr. Johnson
was ordered to fully comply with the provisions of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, section 18, which
requires, in part, withdrawal from representation and prohibits undertaking any new representation.
This suspension shall remain in effect until it is dissolved or amended by order of the Supreme Court of
Tennessee.
