SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
On July 25, 2014, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated William T. Maxwell to the practice of law
subject to conditions requiring him to engage a practice monitor for three (3) years and undergo an evaluation
by Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program (TLAP) and comply with any and all recommendations of TLAP.
Mr. Maxwell had been suspended by the Supreme Court of Tennessee on January 7, 2014, for a period
of fifteen (15) months, retroactive to July 19, 2012. On January 15, 2014, Mr. Maxwell filed a Petition for
Reinstatement to the practice of law and a hearing was held before the Hearing Panel on June 17, 2014.
A Hearing Panel found that Mr. Maxwell complied with the terms and conditions of his suspension, and
further found that he had demonstrated the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law required
for the practice of law, and that his resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity or
standing of the bar or administration of justice, or subversive to the public interest. Based upon the Hearing
Panelâs recommendation, the Supreme Court reinstated Mr. Maxwellâs license to practice law with conditions.
