MISSISSIPPI LAWYER SUSPENDED
On December 20, 2017, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an Order of Reciprocal Discipline
suspending the law license of Marvin Reid Stanford of Olive Branch, Mississippi, for three (3) years with six
(6) months on active suspension, and the remaining two and a half (2.5) years served on probation. The
suspension is retroactive to September 1, 2017. Mr. Stanford is licensed to practice law in Mississippi and
Tennessee.
Upon receiving notification by the Board of Professional Responsibility that Mr. Stanford was subject to
attorney discipline in Mississippi, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered a notice requiring Mr. Stanford to
demonstrate why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed in Tennessee. The Supreme Court of Mississippi
found that Mr. Stanford violated Mississippi Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15(a) and (b) (safekeeping
property and funds); 5.3(a) (responsibilities to non-lawyer assistants); and, 8.4(a) and (d) (misconduct).
Mr. Stanford must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
30.4 regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
