BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
June 8, 2006
CHATTANOOGA LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED BY SUPREME COURT
By Order of the Supreme Court of Tennessee filed June 6, 2006, Charles Daniel Collins'
license to practice law was temporarily suspended, pursuant to Rules of the Supreme Court of
Tennessee, upon a finding that Mr. Collins had failed to respond to the Board of Professional
Responsibility concerning a trust account overdraft and posed a threat of irreparable harm to the
public.
Mr. Collins may continue to represent existing clients for thirty days. Mr. Collins must
cease representing all clients effective July 6, 2006, and may not accept new cases following that
date. After July 6, 2006, Mr. Collins shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law
clerk, etc., nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
The Order requires Mr. Collins to notify by registered or certified mail all clients being
represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and opposing counsel, of the Supreme
Court's Order suspending his law license. Section 18 of Supreme Court Rule 9 requires Mr.
Collins to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
Mr. Collins may for good cause request dissolution or modification of this suspension by
petition to the Supreme Court. This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or
modification by the Supreme Court.
