NASHVILLE ATTORNEY SUSPENDED FROM PRACTICE OF LAW
Carroll Thomas Strohm, a Nashville attorney, has been temporarily suspended
from the practice of law in this state by an Order of the Supreme Court of Tennessee,
entered on July 2, 2003. The Court suspended Strohm based upon sworn statements
of four clients that he misappropriated funds of the clients to his own use. The Court
found that Strohm posed a substantial threat of irreparable harm to the public.
This suspension was issued pursuant to Section 4.3 of Tennessee Supreme
Court Rule 9. Strohm is precluded from accepting any new clients after July 2, 2003,
and is precluded from representing any clients after August 1, 2003. After August 1,
2003, Strohm shall cease to use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant or law clerk and
he shall not be present in or staff an office where the practice of law is conducted.
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 18, and the Courtâs order require
Strohm to notify by registered or certified mail all clients represented in pending matters,
all co-counsel and opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order of Suspension.
Section 18 also requires Strohm to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which
they are entitled.
This suspension shall remain in effect indefinitely until it is dissolved or amended
by Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court. Strohm has a right to apply for a hearing to
dissolve or amend the suspension.
