On Friday, September 5, 2025, the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility announced the suspension of attorney Mitchell Ray Miller following a ruling by the Supreme Court of Tennessee. Miller has been suspended from practicing law for two years, with the first four months served as an active suspension. The remaining period will be served under probationary conditions, which include the appointment of a practice monitor and the requirement to complete additional continuing legal education.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of d Mitchell Ray Miller.”
The charges cited Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 1.16, 3.2, 8.1, and 8.4(d).
The disciplinary action stems from Miller’s handling of seven separate client matters, where he accepted fees for services but failed to fulfill his obligations. Specific issues included not performing the agreed-upon work, missing scheduled court appearances, and lacking adequate communication with clients. These actions led to significant delays and potential harm to those he represented. Furthermore, Miller did not respond promptly to inquiries from the Board, although he eventually refunded all unearned fees to his clients.
Miller has acknowledged his misconduct through a Conditional Guilty Plea, admitting that his actions violated several provisions of the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct. These violations included a lack of diligence, poor communication, and misconduct that undermined the justice system.
As part of his suspension, Miller is required to adhere to the obligations outlined in Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, specifically Sections 28 and 30.4, which detail the responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the process for seeking reinstatement to the bar.
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Miller is a business attorney in Brentwood, Tennessee. He attended the Wake Forest University School of Law, graduating in 2017. He acquired his law license in Tennessee in the same year.
