MEMPHIS LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On May 2, 2008, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended the law license of Michael
Edward Latimore of Memphis, Tennessee pursuant to Section 4.3 of Rule 9 of the Rules of the Tennessee
Supreme Court. The Board of Professional Responsibility petitioned the Court to temporarily suspend Mr.
Latimoreâs law license because he failed to respond to a disciplinary complaint of ethical misconduct.
The Order precludes Michael Edward Latimore from accepting any new cases effective May 2, 2008.
Mr. Latimore may continue to represent existing clients until June 2, 2008. After June 2, 2008, Mr. Latimore
shall not maintain a presence or occupy an office where the practice of law is conducted. Mr. Latimore shall
take such action as is necessary to cause the removal of any indicia of lawyer, counselor at law, legal assistant,
law clerk, or similar title.
The Order requires Michael Edward Latimore to notify all clients, co-counsel, and opposing counsel in
pending matters of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending his law license.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Michael
Edward Latimore may for good cause request dissolution or modification of this suspension by petition to the
Supreme Court of Tennessee.
