Nashville lawyer John Lyndon Lowery was disbarred from the practice of law yesterday. The state Supreme Court made the disbarment retroactive to the date of a prior disbarment on June 24 and directed Lowery to make restitution to clients as a condition of reinstatement. The court took the action after finding that Lowery settled a case without his clients’ knowledge or consent, signed their names to a settlement check without their permission, misappropriated settlement funds and made misrepresentations to clients that their cases were progressing normally. A suspension imposed on Lowery in 2015 for failure to pay the professional privilege tax also remains in effect. Read the BPR notice.
