KNOX COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
Effective December 3, 2024, the Supreme Court of Tennessee suspended Jedidiah Charles McKeehan
from the practice of law for thirty (30) days pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 12.2. Mr. McKeehan may apply
for reinstatement at the end of the thirty (30) day active suspension.
A Petition for Discipline containing one complaint was filed by the Board. Mr. McKeehan, in
representation of a client, failed to ascertain whether or not the conditions of a mediated settlement agreement
were met prior to dismissing his clientâs claim with prejudice. In doing so, Mr. McKeehan failed to
communicate properly with his client. Mr. McKeehan also charged an unreasonable fee in that all fees paid to
him resulted in the dismissal of a claim with prejudice. Mr. McKeehan violated Tennessee Rules of
Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.3 (diligence), 1.4 (communication), 1.5 (fees), and 8.4(d)
(misconduct).
Mr. McKeehan must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28
and 30.4, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the procedure for
reinstatement.
