Madison County attorney Sherry Marie Percival was reinstated to the practice of law last week. She was suspended on May 27, 2021, for five years, with six months to be served on active suspension and the remainder on probation. Percival filed a petition for reinstatement on Sept. 23, which the Board of Professional Responsibility found to be satisfactory. The Tennessee Supreme Court adopted the board’s recommendation but conditioned the probation on Percival engaging a practice monitor and meeting with the monitor monthly to assess her trust account practices, case load, timeliness of tasks and adequacy of communication with clients. The court also directed her to engage a certified public accountant to reconcile her trust account on a quarterly basis.
