The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Albert Fitzpatrick Officer III from the practice of law for six years, with six months active suspension and the remainder on probation. Officer is ordered to continue his monitoring agreement with the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program, engage the services of a practice monitor, pay restitution in the amount of $1,250 and reimburse the board for all costs in the disciplinary proceeding. Officer pleaded guilty to the amended criminal charge of misdemeanor DUI. He also failed to take action to prosecute or advance a client’s case, failed to advise his client in a matter that had been appealed, failed to file appellate responses resulting in the court removing him as the attorney of record, failed to deposit client funds into his trust account and appeared in court representing his clients while administratively suspended.
