Memphis lawyer George Ernest Skouteris Jr. was disbarred by the Tennessee Supreme Court on April 21. The court directed that the sanction run concurrent with a previous disbarment imposed on Feb. 21, 2014. It also ordered Skouteris to pay restitution to a former client. The court took the action based on two complaints. In the first, Skouteris ignored a client’s numerous emails and telephone calls, settled a case without her knowledge and failed to maintain sufficient funds in his trust account. In the second complaint, Skouteris failed to use a written agreement for a contingency fee and failed to consult with or notify clients about settlements. Read the BPR release.
