SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
Effective February 9, 2022, the Supreme Court of Tennessee suspended Thomas Francis Jackson, III,
from the practice of law for one (1) year active suspension pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9,
Section 12.2.
A Petition and Supplemental Petition for Discipline containing three (3) complaints were filed by the
Board against Mr. Jackson. After a hearing on the disciplinary complaints, a Hearing Panel found Mr. Jackson
knowingly and repeatedly communicated with the opposing parties through their agents about the substance of
the litigation without the consent of the attorneys representing the defendants and continued to do so after being
instructed to communicate only with opposing counsel. The Hearing Panel further found Mr. Jackson, after
being suspended from the practice of law, advertised his professional services on the internet, met with a
potential client about representation, sought to collect fees for professional services for which he had not been
retained and failed to disclose his suspension.
The Hearing Panel found the above conduct of Mr. Jackson violated Rule of Professional Conduct 4.2(a)
(Communicating with a Person Represented by Counsel) and Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5(a)
(Unauthorized Practice of Law).
Mr. Jackson must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
30.4, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the procedure for reinstatement.
