On May 19, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Williamson County lawyer Jason Scott Mangrum from the practice of law for four years, with five months to be served on active suspension and the remainder on probation subject to conditions. Two complaints were filed against Mangrum alleging that he failed to adequately represent clients, abide by client wishes, act diligently, return client property, respond to discovery, respond to dispositive motions and communicate. He also was accused of making frivolous claims and dismissing a party and claim without authorization from the client. He agreed to a conditional guilty plea acknowledging his conduct violated Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.15(d), 1.16, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 8.4.
