Sullivan County lawyer Jason R. McLellan was temporarily suspended from the practice of law on Sept. 9 by the Tennessee Supreme Court. McLellan was suspended after the court found he had misappropriated funds for his own use, posed a threat of substantial harm to the public and failed to respond to the Board of Professional Responsibility (BPR) regarding a complaint of misconduct. He is precluded from accepting new cases and must stop representing clients by Oct. 9. McLellan must notify all clients, co-counsel and opposing counsel of his suspension and is required to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
