The Tennessee Supreme Court today disbarred Wilson County lawyer Jennifer M. Porth from the practice of law. Porth failed to file accountings for three different clients she was representing in conservatorships. Porth also represented three estates in probate matters and failed to file any accountings and failed to timely and diligently represent her clients. She misappropriated and converted funds from these estates to her own personal use, failed to abide by her clients’ wishes relative to various assets of the estates, failed to properly communicate with the clients, failed to obtain permission from the Court for attorney fees and failed to turn over client materials in a timely manner. Porth consented to disbarment because she could not successfully defend the alleged charges.
