The Tennessee Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection on Sept. 5 paid a $39,585 claim filed against Anderson County attorney Kevin Carmack Angel. It also directed Angel to reimburse the fund for the expense. The Fund for Client Protection was established by the Tennessee Supreme Court to reimburse individuals for losses caused by dishonest conduct by attorneys. The fund is operated by a board, which meets quarterly to consider claims. In September 2022, the Tennessee Supreme Court amended Rule 25 to require the fund to notify the Tennessee Bar Association of claims paid. News releases also are posted online.
