LAW LICENSE OF NASHVILLE ATTORNEY SUSPENDED
On June 27, 2005, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an Order suspending
the law license of Leroy Cain, Jr. for a period of nine (9) months, in addition to ordering Cain to
make restitution of $150 to one client and restitution in the amount of $415 to a second client
within thirty (30) days of the Supreme Courtâs Order.
The Supreme Court suspended Cain for Cainâs continued practice of law while on
suspension. Cain was suspended by the Tennessee Supreme Court on December 17, 2002 for
non-compliance with his continuing legal education requirements, however, Cain continued
practicing law after being suspended. Cain failed to withdraw after being suspended; made
misrepresentations to and failed to adequately communicate with clients, courts, opposing
counsel and the Board of Professional Responsibility; accepted fees while suspended; disclosed
client confidences and neglected client matters.
On July 7, 2005 until April 7, 2006, Cain shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal
assistant or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted. Section 18
of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 requires Cain to notify all clients that are being represented
in pending matters; all counsel and opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending
him. Section 18 of Rule 9, Rules of the Supreme Court, also requires Cain to deliver to all
clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
