On September 29, 2014, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an order temporarily suspending the

Professional Responsibility concerning a complaint of misconduct. Section 12.3 of Tennessee Supreme Court
Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in matters where
an attorney fails to respond to the Board. The temporary suspension is effective on the date of entry.
Mr. Hays is precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing existing clients by
October 29, 2014. After October 29, 2014, Mr. Hays shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law
clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
Mr. Hays must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and
opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs Order suspending his law license in accordance with Tennessee
Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. Hays
may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
