The Tennessee Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection on Oct. 7 paid a $2,040.78 claim filed against Roane County lawyer Christopher Shawn Roberts. The fund also directed Roberts to reimburse the fund. The fund 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.
