The Tennessee Supreme Court disbarred Carrie Watson Gasaway on Oct. 5 from the practice of law. Gasaway was suspended in May of 2015 after being convicted of extortion. She also engaged in theft of client money from trust, charged unreasonable fees, provided incompetent representation and more. Gasaway is the wife of Circuit Court Judge John Gasaway, who announced his retirement effective Dec. 1. The couple filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 13 in 2014. Mr. Gasaway has blamed the debt on his wife’s extortion charge and her former legal partners.
