The Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Hawkins County lawyer John Stephen Anderson Dec. 22 from the practice of law in two disciplinary cases. In the first case, Anderson agreed to a suspension of one year and payment of restitution for two clients. In the second case, Anderson agreed to suspension for five years, to be served consecutive to the suspension in the first matter, and payment of restitution to 12 clients. Anderson failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness, failed to obtain written waivers from former clients regarding a conflict of interest and made false statements and material misrepresentations to the Court and his clients.
