KNOX COUNTY LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On September 19, 2024, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Jonathan William
Doolan from the practice of law upon finding that Mr. Doolan failed to comply with a Tennessee Lawyers
Assistance Program monitoring agreement. 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 substantial non-
compliance with a Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program monitoring agreement and poses a threat of
substantial harm to the public.
Mr. Doolan is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by October 19, 2024. After October 19, 2024, Mr. Doolan shall not use any indicia of lawyer,
legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Doolan 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. Doolan is required to deliver to all
clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
Mr. Doolan must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 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. Doolan
may, for good cause, request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
