COLORADO LAWYER SUSPENDED
On August 11, 2017, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an Order of Reciprocal Discipline
suspending the law license of Sean Gardner Saxon of Arvada, Colorado, for three (3) years. The suspension is
retroactive to December 28, 2016. Mr. Saxon is licensed to practice law in Colorado and Tennessee.
Upon receiving notification by the Board of Professional Responsibility that Mr. Saxon was subject to
attorney discipline in Colorado, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered a notice requiring Mr. Saxon to
demonstrate why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed in Tennessee. The Colorado Hearing Board found
that Mr. Saxon violated Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct 3.4 (c) (disobeying an obligation of a tribunal);
8.4(b) (criminal acts); and, 8.4 (h) (conduct that wrongfully harms others and reflects adversely on the lawyers
fitness to practice law). Mr. Saxon did not file a response to the Tennessee Supreme Courtâs notice, and the
Court found that it was appropriate to enter an Order of Reciprocal Discipline suspending Mr. Saxonâs license
to practice law in Tennessee.
Mr. Saxon must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
30.4 regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
