WAYNE COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
John W. Castleman, Jr., has been reinstated to the practice of law by Order of the Tennessee Supreme
Court entered August 4, 2014. Mr. Castleman was suspended from the practice of law by Order of the Supreme
Court on July 5, 2011, for a period of one (1) year, retroactive to December 14, 2009.
A Hearing Panel found that Mr. Castleman 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. Castlemanâs license to practice law with
conditions. Mr. Castleman must continue a monitoring program for one year, including random drug
screenings; continue his participation in a Buprenorphine program; continue counseling; participate in a twelve-
step program; and engage a practice monitor for one year. Further, Mr. Castleman must pay the costs of the
reinstatement proceeding.
