The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Jefferson County lawyer Capp Peterson Taylor for two years. The court took the action based on three complaints that Taylor failed to adequately communicate with clients and keep them informed of the status of their cases. In addition, the court found that Taylor was in an improper partnership with a non-lawyer and failed to deposit retainer fees into a trust account. His actions were determined to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 1.4, 1.15(a) and (c), 5.4(b) and 8.4(g).
