LAW LICENSE OF CLARKSVILLE ATTORNEY SUSPENDED
On January 31, 2006, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an Order suspending the
law license of Gary M. Eisenberg for a period of one (1) year.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Eisenberg
pursuant to Rule 9, Rules of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. On September 1, 2004, a Hearing
Panel heard the Board of Professional Responsibilityâs disciplinary charges against Eisenberg
and recommended Eisenberg be suspended for one (1) year and make restitution to one client in
the amount of $906.54 and restitution to a second client in the amount of $500.00.
Eisenberg filed a petition for certiorari appealing the Hearing Panelâs recommendation.
On November 3, 2005, a Special Judge entered a Final Order of Dismissal dismissing
Eisenbergâs Petition for Certiorari with prejudice. Eisenberg did not appeal the Special Judgeâs
Final Order of Dismissal.
Section 18 of Rule 9 of the Tennessee Supreme Court Rules requires Eisenberg to notify
by registered or certified mail all clients being represented in pending matters; all co-counsel and
opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending his license. Section 18 of Rule 9
also requires Eisenberg to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This disciplinary matter was held pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 8 and 9. In
Tennessee suspended lawyers may, after the passage of their suspension, apply for the
reinstatement of their law licenses. To succeed with a Petition for Reinstatement, these lawyers
must carry their burden of proof by clear and convincing evidence and show that the
reinstatement will not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of the bar or the administration
of justice or subversive to the public interest.
