KNOXVILLE ATTORNEY DISBARRED
On October 12, 2011, the Tennessee Supreme Court entered an Order of Enforcement for the disbarment
of Richard R. Baumgartner of Knoxville, Tennessee. Mr. Baumgartner, through counsel, delivered to the Board
of Professional Responsibility an affidavit consenting to disbarment because he could not successfully defend
against a Petition for Final Discipline based on Mr. Baumgartnerâs guilty plea to official misconduct or the
Boardâs investigation of other misconduct by Mr. Baumgartner. Mr. Baumgartnerâs actions violate Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 8, Rules of Professional Conduct 8.4 (misconduct).
Mr. Baumgartner must comply with Section 18 of Rule 9, Rules of the Supreme Court, regarding the
obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys.
