Putnam County lawyer John Philip Parsons was reinstated to the practice of law today. He had been disbarred by the Tennessee Supreme Court on Oct. 13, 2017. Parsons filed a reinstatement petition on March 10 and a formal hearing was held on Sept. 7. The Board of Professional Responsibility (BPR) recommended he be reinstated. The court conditioned reinstatement on Parson’s engagement of a practice monitor who must meet with him once a month for one year to assess his caseload, timeliness of tasks, adequacy of communication with clients and accounting procedures, and provide monthly written reports to the BPR.
