RUTHERFORD COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On May 20, 2016, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Carla Ann Kent Ford from the practice of
law pending further Orders of the Court, pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 22.3. Ms. Ford
was summarily suspended based upon her felony conviction for violating Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-14-103; i.e.,
theft of property valued in excess of $1,000.00 but less than $10,000.00.
The Supreme Court referred the matter to the Board of Professional Responsibility for the institution of
formal proceedings to determine the extent of final discipline to be imposed as a result of Ms. Fordâs guilty
plea.
Ms. Ford must comply with Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28 regarding the obligations and
responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
