A notice on the web page of the Tennessee Board on Professional Responsibility

Effective June 7, 2023, the Supreme Court of Tennessee permanently disbarred Robert R. Rexrode from the practice of law and ordered him to pay all costs incurred to the Board of Professional Responsibility.

After a final default hearing upon the disciplinary petition, the Hearing Panel determined by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Rexrode knowingly engaged in the unauthorized practice of law in West Virginia, knowingly engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, and failed to cooperate with disciplinary counsel in the investigation of the disciplinary complaint.

The Panel found Mr. Rexrode’s conduct violated West Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct 5.5 (b)(2) (unauthorized practice), 8.1 (bar admissions and disciplinary matters), and 8.4(c) and (d) (misconduct) and warranted permanent disbarment.
