HICKMAN COUNTY ATTORNEY SUSPENDED FROM PRACTICE OF LAW
Douglas P. Nanney, a Hickman County attorney, was suspended from the practice of law
in this State by the Tennessee Supreme Court on February 3, 2005 for a period of two (2) years,
to be followed by a period of indefinite suspension. Nanney shall not be eligible to file a petition
for reinstatement, unless and until, Nanney is discharged from an order of probation entered
August 24, 2004 by the Circuit Court of Williamson County.
Nanneyâs suspension resulted from Nanney pleading guilty to a violation of 40-35-313,
Tennessee Code Annotated, a Class E Felony, possession of drug paraphernalia.
The Tennessee Supreme Court ordered that Nanney shall comply with Rule 9, Section
18.5, Rules of the Supreme Court with regard to notice to clients, duty to maintain records, duty
to return client property, duty to return fees or costs paid in advance that have not been under-
expended, duty to withdraw in any Court in which he has matters pending, and duty to file an
affidavit with the Board regarding compliance.
The suspension order shall remain in effect until an order of reinstatement is issued by
the Supreme Court of Tennessee, upon a showing by clear and convincing evidence that
Nanneyâs reinstatement to the practice of law would in no way be detrimental to the public
interest.
