On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, the Supreme Court of Indiana indefinitely suspended Attorney Thomas M. Green from practicing law due to his failure to cooperate with the state’s disciplinary process.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Thomas M. Green,” with case nos. 24S-DI-326 and 24S-DI-327.
This decision follows a previous suspension that was enacted on December 13, 2024, as a result of Green’s noncompliance with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission regarding two grievances filed against him.
The grievances prompted the Commission to take action against Green for not responding to their inquiries. After more than ninety days had elapsed since his initial suspension, the Commission moved to convert his suspension to an indefinite one, which the Court has now granted.
The ruling indicates that Green did not respond to the Commission’s motion for conversion, leading the Court to conclude that an indefinite suspension was warranted under Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23(10.1)(c)(4). This rule allows for the conversion of a suspension when an attorney fails to comply with the disciplinary process.
As part of the order, Green is required to adhere to the ongoing responsibilities of a suspended attorney, as outlined in Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26). To regain his ability to practice law in Indiana, he must address the underlying issues that led to his suspensions and successfully petition the Court for reinstatement according to Admission and Discipline Rule 23(18)(b).
The Disposition states:
“IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondent’s current suspension from the practice of law for failure to cooperate with the disciplinary process is converted to an indefinite suspension, effective immediately.”
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Green is a divorce and separation attorney in Carmel, Indiana. He attended the Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington, graduating in 2005. He acquired his law license in Indiana in the same year.
