MEMPHIS LAWYER DISBARRED FROM THE PRACTICE OF LAW
Louis D. Hamrick, a Memphis attorney, has been disbarred from the practice of
law in this state by order of the Supreme Court entered September 9, 2003. Hamric
was disbarred based upon a consent order entered into by Hamric and Disciplinary
Counsel. The order stipulated that Hamric consented to disbarment because he could
not successfully defend himself on the charges alleged in the complaint filed against
him. The disbarment order stipulated that Hamric shall reimburse the Lawyersâ Fund for
Client Protection for any monies that it may pay out on his behalf and that Hamric shall
make restitution to any clients who have a valid or judgment against him as a result of
his misconduct. The disbarment was issued pursuant to Section 15.1 of Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 9. Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 provides that an attorney
disbarred may not apply for reinstatement until the expiration of at least five years from
the effective date of the disbarment. The disbarment 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 his reinstatement to the practice of law would in
no way be detrimental to the public interest.
Section 18 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 requires Hamric to notify by
registered or certified mail all clients being represented in pending matters; all co-
counsel and opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs order disbarring him. Section 18
also requires Hamric to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are
entitled.
