Davidson County lawyer Kevin William Teets Jr. was yesterday suspended from the practice of law for 30 days by the Supreme Court of Tennessee. For one year following his reinstatement, Teets shall engage a practice monitor and he must pay the Board of Professional Responsibility all costs in the disciplinary proceeding. Teets assisted with the incorporation of a non-profit entity in exchange for being named treasurer of the non-profit, but later admitted to misappropriating funds while in that role. Teets is immediately suspended from the practice of law and prohibited from using any indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk or maintaining a presence where the practice of law is conducted. He must notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and opposing counsel of the Supreme Court’s order suspending his law license and shall deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
