The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Shelby County lawyer Barbara Morris Zoccola for two months, retroactive to a suspension imposed on Jan. 15. In November 2019, Zoccola pled guilty in federal court to the misdemeanor charge of theft for falsely reporting work time and failing to report leave time as an assistant U.S. attorney. She was sentenced to one year probation and ordered to pay restitution and a fine, and resign her position. In the disciplinary proceeding, she admitted her conduct violated Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4.
