KNOX COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
Effective February 19, 2026, the Supreme Court of Tennessee suspended Knoxville attorney Loring
Edwin Justice from the practice of law for four (4) years, pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section
12.2, with all four (4) years to be served as an active suspension. Mr. Justice must also make payment of all Board
costs and expenses.
The Petition for Discipline filed in this matter alleged that Mr. Justice and his firm entered into a fee
agreement without client authorization, charged excessive and unreasonable fees that were unsupported by billing
records, abused the fiduciary relationship with the client, failed to reasonably communicate with or diligently
represent a client, failed to protect his clientâs interests after withdrawal or termination, and engaged in
misconduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.
On December 3, 2025, Mr. Justice executed a Conditional Guilty Plea as to violations of Tennessee Rules
of Professional Conduct (âRPCâ) 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communications), 1.5 (fees), 1.8 (conflict of interest:
specific rules), 1.16 (declining or terminating representing), and 8.4(c) (misconduct).
Mr. Justice must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and 30.4,
regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the procedure for reinstatement.
