The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Williamson County lawyer David Dwayne Harris from the practice of law for two years with 60 days to be served on active suspension and the remainder to be served on probation. The court also directed him to make restitution in the amount of $10,000. Harris admitted to violating the rules in five cases, failing to communicate with clients, failing to file petitions for clients, engaging in a conflict of interest and communicating with a party that he knew was represented by counsel. His conduct violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 4.2 and 8.4 (a).
