The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Kevin William Teets from the practice of law for one year. A hearing panel found that Teets knew a bonding company had refused to remain on his client’s bond after conviction, but he intentionally misled the trial court to believe the bonding company would remain on the bond. The disciplinary complaint was filed in 2019 and, after the hearing panel’s decision, was appealed to the Davidson County Circuit Court, which affirmed the panel’s decision. Teets must reimburse the Board of Professional Responsibility for all proceeding costs and must pay court costs. He cannot return to the practice of law until reinstated by the Supreme Court.
