WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER DISBARRED
Effective January 29, 2021, the Supreme Court of Tennessee permanently disbarred Matthew David
Dunn from the practice of law and ordered him to pay restitution in the amount of $5,995.00 and costs of the
disciplinary proceeding. A Petition for Discipline involving one complaint was filed against Mr. Dunn and tried
before a Hearing Panel.
The Panel found Mr. Dunn accepted a referral from an intermediary organization not properly registered
with the Board, received a fee for services from a client but did not perform any legal services, failed to respond
to the clientâs requests for information about the representation or communicate in any manner, and abandoned
the client.
The Panel found Mr. Dunnâs conduct violated Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (diligence),
1.4 (communication), 1.5 (fees), 7.6 (intermediary organizations), and 8.1 (bar admissions and disciplinary
matters).
Mr. Dunn must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28,
regarding the obligations and responsibilities of permanently disbarred attorneys.
