Not Enough Hours In The Day

The Tennessee Supreme Court has disbarred an attorney who “submitted inflated, false and deceptive fee claims to the Administrative Office of the Courts.”

The attorney had billed more than eight hours a day (usually 10-11 hours) for approximately 478 days over a period of slightly less than two years and could not produce any records to verify the bills.

He “billed nearly twelve hours on a day when he attended an eight hour, out of state CLE.”

The attorney also was charged with knowingly understating his income in his personal bankruptcy and failed to appear for the final hearing in the disciplinary matter. (Mike Frisch)
