The Tennessee Supreme Court upheld the decision of a Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility hearing panel to disbar an attorney for criminal convictions related to lying and forgery in a client's case, emphasizing the seriousness of such misconduct.
Mr. Doll's actions of pressuring his client to lie under oath and forging documents led to serious felony convictions, resulting in the suspension of his law license and further disciplinary actions by the court.
The court's decision to disbar Mr. Doll was justified as he abused his client's trust and coerced them into dishonesty for his benefit, showcasing a breach of legal and ethical responsibilities expected of an attorney.
