MEMPHIS LAWYER SUSPENDED
On July 18, 2011, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Timothy Allen Price for two years,
retroactively applied to April 8, 2010, the date of Mr. Priceâs temporary suspension from the practice of law.
Mr. Price must pay restitution to two former clients and pay the costs of the disciplinary proceeding.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Mr. Price pursuant to
Rule 9 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Tennessee containing two complaints of misconduct. In the first,
an immigration client complained about Mr. Priceâs lack of communication. In the course of investigating this
complaint, the Board determined that Mr. Price had abandoned his practice. The Board received a letter from
concerned attorneys in Memphis who were trying to assist other clients of Mr. Price. A Supplemental Petition
was filed containing another complaint of failure to communicate and lack of diligence. Mr. Price entered into
a Conditional Guilty Plea admitting to his misconduct.
Mr. Priceâs actions violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, Competence; 1.3, Diligence; 1.4,
Communication; 1.5(a), Fees; 1.15(a), Safekeeping Property; 1.16(d), Declining and Terminating
Representation; and 8.4(a)(c) and (d), Misconduct.
