BEDFORD COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On August 25, 2017, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Robert Lee Marlow from
the practice of law upon finding that Mr. Marlow failed to respond to the Board regarding a complaint of
misconduct. 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 failure to respond to the Board regarding a complaint
of misconduct.
Mr. Marlow is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by September 24, 2017. After September 24, 2017, Mr. Marlow shall not use any indicia of
lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Marlow 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. Marlow is required to deliver
to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
Mr. Marlow must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, §§ 28 and
12.3(d), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of temporarily suspended attorneys and the procedure
for reinstatement.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. Marlow
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
