DAVIDSON COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
On November 15, 2017, Loniel Greene, Jr. was disbarred from the practice of law by Order of the
Tennessee Supreme Court. Mr. Greene must pay the Boardâs costs and expenses and the court costs within
ninety days of the entry of the Order of Enforcement.
Mr. Greeneâs cousin was in jail charged with domestic assault. During recorded telephone
conversations with his cousin, Mr. Greene agreed to testify falsely at his cousinâs bond source hearing that Mr.
Greene was the source of the money used for his cousinâs bond when it was in fact that of his cousin. Mr.
Greene admittedly testified falsely at that hearing regarding the source of the money used for his cousinâs bond.
During those recorded telephone conversations, Mr. Greene also discussed with his cousin plans for Mr. Greene
to attempt to coerce the prosecuting witness from testifying against the cousin. During those conversations, Mr.
Greene also admitted having made efforts to coerce the witness from testifying.
Mr. Greeneâs ethical misconduct violates Rules of Professional Conduct 3.3(a)(1), Candor toward the
Tribunal; 3.4(a), (f) and (g), Fairness to Opposing Party and Counsel; and 8.4(a), (b), (c) and (d), Misconduct.
Mr. Greene must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
30, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys.
