JEFFERSON COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
On October 9, 2014, Carl Robert Ogle of Jefferson County, Tennessee was disbarred from the practice
of law by the Tennessee Supreme Court.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr. Ogle pursuant to
Rule 9, Rules of the Supreme Court. Mr. Ogle submitted a Conditional Guilty Plea acknowledging violation of
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 8, Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 (d) (safekeeping property), 3.3 (a) (1)
(candor toward tribunal) and 5.3 (a) and (b) (responsibility regarding non-lawyer assistants).
Mr. Ogle deposited a settlement check in the amount of $161,037.84 into his trust account. He was
representing the executrix of an estate and the settlement was for injuries incurred by the deceased before she
passed away. Between November 2008 and January 2013, the settlement proceeds were misappropriated by a
non-lawyer assistant. The estate was closed in August 2013, and Mr. Ogle represented to the court that the
assets of the estate had been distributed to the beneficiaries, which was false.
Mr. Ogle must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 18 (2006)
and Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 30.4 (2014), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of
disbarred attorneys.
