The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Mark Steven Graham from the practice of law for three years, retroactive to March 11, 2020, the date of his temporary suspension from the practice of law. Graham represented a foreign company involved in intellectual property litigation in the U.S. The company retained an expert witness and the client sent funds to Graham for payment of the expert witness fees. Graham failed to pay the expert as agreed and used a portion of the funds to pay his outstanding attorney fees. Graham will serve one year on active suspension and the remainder on probation. He must also obtain an evaluation with the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program, engage a Practice Monitor, pay restitution and pay the Board of Professional Responsibility’s costs and expenses and court costs.
