The Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Jason Wade Barnette from the practice of law today. The suspension term is three years, with one year served. Barnette must pay restitution to five former clients. Complaints alleged that after paying Barnette for representation, he missed court dates resulting in default judgments and was non-responsive to requests for information. In one case, Barnette failed to timely remit proceeds of a settlement, and in another, he agreed to dismiss a case he filed on behalf of a client without consulting her.
