DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On May 21, 2019, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Jennifer Elizabeth Jones from the practice
of law for eighteen (18) months and ordered her to pay the costs of the disciplinary proceeding. The suspension
is retroactive to the date of her temporary suspension of July 31, 2017.
On October 12, 2017, the Board filed a Petition for Discipline against Ms. Jones containing one
complaint of misconduct. The complaint alleged that Ms. Jones, while administratively suspended from the
practice of law, notified opposing counsel in an administrative matter that she represented an individual. The
signature line of Ms. Jonesâ e-mail included the word âEsquireâ after her name, included the name of the law
firm where she purportedly worked, and was sent from the law firmâs e-mail address. Further, Ms. Jones filed
and signed pleadings containing her attorney registration number and the name of her law firm. Ms. Jones
entered a Conditional Guilty Plea in this matter.
Ms. Jonesâ misconduct violates Rules of Professional Conduct 5.5 (unauthorized practice of law) and
8.1(b) (bar and disciplinary matters).
Ms. Jones must comply with Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and 30.4 regarding the
obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
