DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On March 3, 2017, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Kevin William Teets, Jr.
from the practice of law upon finding Mr. Teets 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 attorneyâs misappropriation of funds.
Mr. Teets is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by April 2, 2017. After April 2, 2017, Mr. Teets shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal
assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Teets shall 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. Teets shall deliver to all
clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This suspension is immediate and remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme
Court. Mr. Teets may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the
Supreme Court.
