Loudon County lawyer Arthur Wayne Henry was disbarred from the practice of law on Wednesday. In the handling of an estate, when an heir of the decedent attempted to purchase the decedent’s real estate, Henry misappropriated the purchase money. When the heir of the decedent attempted to purchase the real estate a second time, Henry misappropriated the purchase money again and forged a deed in an effort to hide his actions. In the representation of a number of other clients, he failed to act diligently, failed to adequately communicate with his clients, failed to place unearned fees in his trust account, made misrepresentations to the clients to make them think their cases were progressing normally, and failed to advise his clients that he had been suspended. When terminated, Henry failed to refund the unearned fees and return his clients’ files.
