Hamilton County lawyer Glen Roy Fagan was suspended today by the Tennessee Supreme Court for six years, with five years to be served on active suspension and the remainder on probation. The court directed Fagan to engage the services of a practice monitor, complete six additional continuing legal ethics hours and reimburse all costs of the disciplinary proceeding. The court found that Fagan, a Georgia lawyer employed as in-house counsel in Tennessee, created a fictitious complaint and settlement, and authorized the transfer of funds from his employer to himself under the company’s mistaken belief it was settling the complainant. The court also found that he falsified a second complaint and authorized the transfer of money from his employer to himself. His actions violated Rules of Professional Conduct 4.1 and 8.4(b), (c) and (d).
