DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On April 29, 2022, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an order suspending Tyree Bryson Harris,
IV, from the practice of law in Tennessee for a period of one (1) year.
The Supreme Court found that Mr. Harris had violated the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct by
engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation in violation of Rule of
Professional Conduct 8.4(c). The Court cited evidence that Mr. Harris had testified under oath in a juvenile
court proceeding for modification of his child support obligation and ruled that he had given answers designed
to conceal relevant information fairly called for in the questions. Mr. Harris effectively deceived the juvenile
court regarding his current level of income, which inured to the detriment of his minor child and her mother.
Pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28.1, the suspension is effective upon entry of the
order by the Court. Mr. Harris must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9,
Sections 28 and 30.4, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the procedure
for reinstatement.
