KENTUCKY LAWYER DISBARRED
On December 12, 2008, the Supreme Court of Tennessee disbarred Richard K. Cameron, of
Hopkinsville, Kentucky, pursuant to Section 17 of Rule 9 of the Rules of the Tennessee Supreme Court. The
Board of Professional Responsibility filed a petition for reciprocal discipline with the Court after the Supreme
Court of Kentucky entered an order disbarring Cameron.
The complaints filed against Cameron in Kentucky alleged, among other things, that Cameron
misappropriated funds from a conservatorship, double-charged fees to a client, and failed to competently and
diligently represent his clients.
Cameron was furthered ordered to comply fully with the order of the Supreme Court of Kentucky as a
condition to his reinstatement to the practice of law in Tennessee, pay the expenses and costs of the disciplinary
proceedings against him, pursuant to Rule 9, Section 4.7, of the Rules of the Supreme Court and fully comply in
all respects with the requirements and obligations of suspended attorneys as set forth in Rule 9, §18.1 of the
Rules of the Supreme Court.
