DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
On December 15, 2016, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated Donald Walter Fisher to the practice
of law effective immediately. Mr. Fisher had been suspended for ninety (90) days by the Supreme Court of
Tennessee on August 21, 2016. Mr. Fisher filed a Petition for Reinstatement to the practice of law pursuant to
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 30.4.
A Hearing Panel found that Mr. Fisher complied with the terms and conditions of his suspension, and
further found that he had demonstrated the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law required
for the practice of law, and that his resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity or
standing of the bar or administration of justice, or subversive to the public interest. Based upon the Hearing
Panelâs recommendation, the Supreme Court reinstated Mr. Fisherâs license to practice law. As conditions of
his reinstatement, Mr. Fisher must have a practice monitor and enter into a monitoring agreement with the
Tennessee Lawyer Assistance Program, both for one year.
Mr. Fisher must pay the costs of the reinstatement proceeding.
