NASHVILLE LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On May 28, 2015, the Supreme Court of Tennessee issued an Order summarily and temporarily
suspending Jamie Ellen Machamer from the practice of law upon finding that Ms. Machamer has failed to
respond to the Board regarding a complaint of misconduct. Section 12.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides
for the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of an attorneyâs failure
to respond to the Board regarding a complaint of misconduct.
Effective May 28, 2015, Ms. Machamer is precluded from accepting any new cases and she must
cease representing existing clients by June 27, 2015. After June 27, 2015, Ms. Machamer shall not use any
indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Ms. Machamer must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and
opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending her law license. Section 28 of Supreme Court
Rule 9 requires Ms. Machamer to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Ms.
Machamer may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the
Supreme Court.
