MAURY COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On November 22, 2024, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Ashlyn Elizabeth
Blevins from the practice of law upon finding that Ms. Blevins poses a threat of substantial harm to the public
and is substantially non-compliant with a Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program monitoring agreement. Ms.
Blevins has failed to complete certain testing and additional treatment as required. Section 12.3 of Supreme
Court Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases
where an attorney is deemed to pose a threat of substantial harm to the public and is substantially non-compliant
with the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program monitoring agreement.
Ms. Blevins is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and she must cease representing
existing clients by December 22, 2024. After December 22, 2024, Ms. Blevins shall not use any indicia of
lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence wherein the practice of law is conducted. Ms.
Blevins must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and opposing
counsel, of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending her law license and is required to deliver to all clients any
papers or property to which they are entitled.
Ms. Blevins must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
12.3(d), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of temporarily suspended attorneys and the procedure for
reinstatement.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Ms. Blevins
may, for good cause, request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
