A summary of a recent one-year suspension by the Tennessee Supreme Court

A Petition and Supplemental Petition for Discipline containing three (3) complaints were filed by the Board against Mr. Jackson. After a hearing on the disciplinary complaints, a Hearing Panel found Mr. Jackson knowingly and repeatedly communicated with the opposing parties through their agents about the substance of the litigation without the consent of the attorneys representing the defendants and continued to do so after being instructed to communicate only with opposing counsel. The Hearing Panel further found Mr. Jackson, after being suspended from the practice of law, advertised his professional services on the internet, met with a potential client about representation, sought to collect fees for professional services for which he had not been retained and failed to disclose his suspension.
