On August 13, 2014, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended the law license of John

an attorney fails to respond to the Board.
Mr. Anderson is precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing existing
clients by September 12, 2014. After September 12, 2014, Mr. Anderson shall not use any indicia of lawyer,
legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Anderson 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 in accordance with Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. Anderson
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
