KNOX COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
Effective January 25, 2024, the Supreme Court of Tennessee permanently disbarred Thomas Fleming
Mabry from the practice of law pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, Section 12.1 and ordered restitution. The
disciplinary matter resulted from six (6) separate complaints.
A Hearing Panel determined Mr. Mabry failed to properly notify the IRS in advance of a foreclosure;
failed to timely notify clients of his suspension from the practice of law; engaged in the unauthorized practice of
law; charged his client an unreasonable fee; failed to promptly refund unearned fees and prepaid expenses;
failed to account for prepaid expenses; failed to promptly furnish the client file to new counsel; failed to
promptly withdraw from his representation; made material misrepresentations to his client; misappropriated
third-party funds; and improperly held himself out as authorized to practice law in North Carolina.
The Supreme Court affirmed the decisions of the Hearing Panel and the Trial Court that Mr. Mabryâs
conduct violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competency), 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communication), 1.5
(fees), 1.16 (declining or terminating representation), 5.5(a) (unauthorized practice of law), and 8.4(a), (b), (c)
and (g) (misconduct).
Mr. Mabry must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28
regarding the obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys.
