HAMILTON COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
Effective June 4, 2025, the Supreme Court of Tennessee permanently disbarred Alan Christopher
Norton from the practice of law. Mr. Norton delivered to the Board of Professional Responsibility his
Declaration in support of Disbarment by Consent, in compliance with Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9,
Section 23.1 and consented to disbarment because he could not successfully defend himself against charges
detailed in pending disciplinary file No. 100694-2024-3-ES-INV. Mr. Norton forged a chancellorâs signature on
three court orders, forged the name of a Tennessee attorney on a fake motion, and forged the deposition
transcript he provided to his client in violation of Rules of Professional Conduct 1.4 (communication), 8.4(b)
(criminal conduct), and 8.4(c) (conduct involving dishonesty).
On December 16, 2024, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Alan Christopher
Norton from the practice of law upon finding that Mr. Norton posed a threat of substantial harm to the public.
Mr. Nortonâs temporary suspension was dissolved by the June 4, 2025, Order of Enforcement.
Mr. Norton must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28 (2024),
regarding the obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys and is not eligible for reinstatement to the
practice of law in this state.
