MAURY COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On October 30, 2024, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended James Michael Marshall
from the practice of law upon finding that Mr. Marshall failed to respond to the Board of Professional
Responsibility concerning one (1) complaint of misconduct. Section 12.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides for
the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of an attorneyâs failure to
respond.
Mr. Marshall must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and
opposing counsel, of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending his law license. Mr. Marshall is required to deliver
to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
Mr. Marshall must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
12.3(d), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of temporarily suspended attorneys and the procedure for
reinstatement.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. Marshall
may, for good cause, request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
