The Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday permanently disbarred Knox County lawyer Wendell Kyle Hall from the practice of law in the state. The court found that Hall failed to (1) provide competent representation to his clients; (2) act with reasonable diligence and promptness in his representation; (3) respond to requests for information; (4) communicate with clients and keep them informed about their cases; (5) inform clients of his suspension; (6) notify clients of his withdrawal as attorney of record; (7) expedite litigation; (8) respond to complaints filed with the Board of Professional Responsibility; and (9) comply with court orders. Finally, the court found that Hall improperly requested and received a loan from a client without memorializing the loan in writing and without advising the client in writing to seek independent legal counsel.
