The Supreme Court of Tennessee today disbarred Montgomery County lawyer Carrie Leigh Gasaway and ordered her to pay restitution in the amount of $6,500 and costs of the disciplinary proceeding. She was previously disbarred on Oct. 15, 2015, and Oct. 29, 2017. Gasaway failed to comply with the terms and conditions of a prior public censure issued on April 13, 2016, for failing to provide competent and diligent representation and reasonably communicate with two clients, failing to account for funds held in trust, failing to deliver the trust funds to her client and failing to respond to the Board of Professional Responsibility concerning the disciplinary complaint. In the second disciplinary matter, she received a retainer fee but failed to provide professional services, adequately communicate with her client during her client’s military deployment or promptly refund unearned fees after being terminated.
