The Supreme Court of Tennessee today temporarily suspended Davidson County lawyer Brian Phillip Manookian from the practice of law upon finding that he poses a threat of substantial harm to the public. Section 12.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides for the immediate summary suspension of an attorney’s license to practice law if an attorney poses a threat of substantial harm to the public. Manookian is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing existing clients by Oct. 21, after which he shall not use any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of law is conducted.
