MCMINN COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
Effective April 3, 2018, the Supreme Court of Tennessee disbarred Larry Dean Cantrell from the
practice of law for delivering property of an estate by quitclaim deed which should have been conveyed by
court deed or court order, for stating in the quit claim deed that the debts of the estate had been paid when they
had not, for delaying the delivery of the deed for seven months, and failing to maintain the purchase funds in his
trust account while the matter was pending.
Mr. Cantrellâs conduct violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence). 1.3 (diligence), 1.15
(safekeeping property), and 8.4 (a), (b) (c) and (d) (misconduct).
Mr. Cantrell was previously suspended by the Supreme Court of Tennessee on November 17, 2017, after
pleading guilty to a serious crime, i.e. violation of T.C.A. § 39-14-103 Theft of Property - $60,000 - $250,000.
Mr. Cantrell must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 18 and
30, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys and may not return to the active practice
of law until an order of reinstatement has been entered by the Supreme Court.
