Memphis attorney Keisha Moses Richardson was today suspended from the practice of law by the Tennessee Supreme Court. She is suspended for two years retroactive to the date of her 2018 temporary suspension and indefinitely until she complies with a 2017 court order. A hearing panel found that Richardson charged an unreasonable fee, failed to expedite litigation, stopped communicating with her clients, violated a court order concerning custody of her child, engaged in the unauthorized practice of law while administratively suspended and failed to respond to disciplinary counsel. She must pay restitution to three former clients, the Board of Professional Responsibility costs and expenses and court costs within 90 days of the order.
