The Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday suspended Davidson County Lawyer Michael Lloyd Freeman for three years, with three months of active suspension and the remainder on probation. Freeman failed to file an appropriate complaint in a contested divorce action resulting in the dismissal of the divorce for failure to prosecute, failed to reasonably communicate with his client and expedite his litigation, failed to review his client’s file and respond to a pending motion for summary judgment and failed to file an executed marital dissolution agreement and take appropriate action to confirm its filing with the court. He must pay the Board of Professional Responsibility for all costs of the disciplinary proceedings and restitution in the amount of $750.
