The Tennessee Supreme Court on Jan. 5 dismissed a petition from Davidson County lawyer Michael Lloyd Freeman, which sought to dissolve a temporary suspension imposed by the court on Sept. 3, 2025. The court suspended Freeman based on his failure to respond or provide adequate responses to multiple complaints of misconduct. Freeman filed the petition to dissolve on Sept. 17, 2025. The Board of Professional Responsibility held a hearing to consider Freeman’s petition. In a report filed after the hearing, it recommended that the petition be denied. On Dec. 23, 2025, it asked the court to approve the recommendation. The court agreed and assessed the costs incurred for the proceeding to Freeman.
