GEORGIA LAWYER REINSTATED
On December 23, 2013, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated the law license of James A. Meaney,
III, of Ringgold, Georgia. Mr. Meaney was suspended by Order of the Court on March 6, 2012, upon finding
that he had failed to respond to the Board regarding a complaint of misconduct. Section 4.3 of Supreme Court
Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of an
attorneyâs failure to respond to the Board regarding a complaint of misconduct. Mr. Meaney filed a Motion to
Dissolve Order of Temporary Suspension on October 16, 2013, asking the Court to enter an Order of
Dissolution. A Hearing Panel appointed to hear the Petition for Dissolution recommended to the Supreme
Court that the Temporary Suspension be set aside. Mr. Meaney was ordered to pay costs and expenses of the
proceeding.
