SULLIVAN COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
On December 16, 2015, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated Kristen E. Morrell to the practice of
law. Ms. Morrell was suspended from the practice of law for one (1) year by the Tennessee Supreme Court and
ordered to pay restitution to four (4) former clients by the Supreme Court of Tennessee on April 15, 2011. A
Hearing Panel determined that Ms. Morrell failed to appear in court on behalf of clients, and abandoned her
practice shortly after accepting fees from new clients. On April 7, 2015, Ms. Morrell filed a Petition for
Reinstatement to the practice of law and a hearing was held before a Hearing Panel on June 25, 2015.
The Hearing Panel found that Ms. Morrell complied with the terms and conditions of her suspension,
and further found that she had demonstrated the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law
required for the practice of law, and that her 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 Ms. Morrellâs license to practice law.
