PUTNAM COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
By Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court entered November 1, 2023, John Philip Parsons was
reinstated to the active practice of law.
On October 13, 2017, John Philip Parsons was disbarred by the Supreme Court of Tennessee. Mr.
Parsons filed a Petition for Reinstatement to the practice of law pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9,
Section 30.4(d), on March 10, 2023. A formal hearing was held before a Hearing Panel on September 7, 2023.
The Hearing Panel found by clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Parsons possessed the moral qualifications,
competency, and learning in the law required for admission to practice in the State of Tennessee and that his
resumption of the practice of law in Tennessee would not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of the Bar
or the administration of justice and recommended the Supreme Court reinstate Mr. Parsons to the active practice
of law.
Mr. Parsonsâ reinstatement to the active practice of law is conditioned upon his engagement of a practice
monitor who will meet with him once a month for the period of one (1) year to assess his caseload, timeliness of
tasks, adequacy of communication with clients, accounting procedures, and provide monthly written reports of
Mr. Parsonsâ progress to Disciplinary Counsel.
The Order of Reinstatement entered November 1, 2023, was effective upon filing.
