RUTHERFORD COUNTY ATTORNEY DISBARRED
On March 3, 2015, the Supreme Court of Tennessee disbarred Edward T. Farmer of Rutherford County,
Tennessee. Pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28, Mr. Farmerâs disbarment is effective
immediately. Mr. Farmer consented to disbarment because he could not successfully defend himself against
allegations of ethical misconduct arising from criminal charges in the matter of State of Tennessee v. Edward
Farmer, in the Criminal Court for Robertson County, Tennessee. Mr. Farmer entered into a best interest plea
for violations of Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-11-403/Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1105, Facilitation of Especially
Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, and Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-12-101/Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-16-503,
Attempt to Commit Tampering with Evidence. Mr. Farmerâs actions violated Tennessee Supreme Court Rule
of Professional Conduct 8.4.
Mr. Farmer must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and 30
regarding the obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys and the procedures for reinstatement.
