DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On February 9, 2016, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Quenton I. White from
the practice of law upon finding that Mr. White has misappropriated funds and poses a threat of substantial
harm to the public. Section 12.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary suspension of
an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of an attorney misappropriating funds and posing a substantial
threat of harm to the public.
Mr. White is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by March 11, 2016. After March 11, 2016, Mr. White shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal
assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. White must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and
opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending his law license. Mr. White is required to deliver
to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. White
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
