Yesterday, Louisville attorney Cassidy Teater was prohibited from practicing law in the courts of the State of Tennessee by the state Supreme Court and ordered to pay restitution to one client as a condition of reinstatement. Teater, who is licensed to practice law in Kentucky and Texas, represented an individual in U.S. Immigration Court while living in Nashville. After accepting payment from the client, Teater ceased communication and failed to perform the services for which she was paid, a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.3, 1.4(a), 1.5, 1.16(d), 8.1(b) and 8.4(a). Teater must pay the court within 90 days of the order.
