MAURY CITY LAWYER REINSTATED TO THE PRACTICE OF LAW
On October 8, 2003, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an order reinstating Charles
Fleet, Jr., to the practice of law.
On March 22, 1997, Fleet was suspended from the practice of law in Tennessee after
pleading guilty to one count of child endangerment.
Fleet subsequently filed a petition for reinstatement. Fleetâs petition was heard by a hearing
committee and the committee found that Fleet had proved by clear and convincing evidence that his
law license should be reinstated subject to the following conditions:
1. That Mr. Fleet remain in substantial compliance with his Tennessee Lawyers Assistance
Program Monitoring/Advocacy Agreement (TLAP);
2. That Mr. Fleet show evidence that he is current on his CLE hours and submit his Annual
Report and $100.00 fee to the Tennessee commission on Continuing Legal Education (CLE);
3. That Mr. Fleet submit his application to have his CLE suspension removed on or before
November 1, 2003;
4. That in the event Mr. Fleetâs application for reinstatement to practice law is granted, that he
either practice law in association with another attorney or a group of attorneys, or in the
alternative, maintain a relationship with a professional peer monitor who is approved by the
Executive Director of TLAP for at least a one (1) year period of time from the date that his
law license is reinstated; and
5. That if it is later shown that Mr. Fleet is not in substantial compliance with the Tennessee
Lawyers Assistance Program Monitoring /Advocacy Agreement, the Board may
immediately petition the Tennessee Supreme Court to suspend his license to practice law.
